Poster of the day: Obama’s footprints in the sand: I SUPPORT PEACE

Obama’s Footprints
I rather have God
carry me through.

I can follow
His Footprints

Till
 I am through.

I SUPPORT PEACE

Where hearts
come home,

Not souls
in coffins

who were
cut down
too soon

Where at home,
hearts are bled

From loves lost,
dying dreams

Wondering ,
For years,
why it was to be?

Taking count,
of pain and hurt

Each time, ,
They think,
of one another

What life I had ,
What could it,
have been?

Echoes, all through ,
The hearts,
that wept.

Did
I make it better
how?
Not
if I cannot
see
the end

What price ,
Did I pay
to see today?

What cost ,
Did I give
a heart or a soul?

What values
do I have ,
That have not
left me ?

What
do I hold on to ,
that can bring
me peace?

The hope ,
God will see
us through

Even through ,
The darkest
awakening

Hope of a nation
to serve God
not war

Of a people
to see the hearts
of others

A dream
not to kill
each other

The hope,
it was not
indifference

For bullets
ripped the flesh

Indifference
tore the soul

The wounds
they received

Was it inflicted
by them or us?

Who is serving
life or death?

Who is burying
hopes and dreams?

Who is serving
humanity the best?

The nation
WHO serves God
not man

The nation
WHO has God
in hand.

Dedicated to Linda Purvis

A Poeatreeman

If I reach for the plow  ,
Make sure my heart is in it

If I reach for the sword ,
Make sure truth is in hand

If peace is at hand ,
why can't we take hold?

Do we serve
God or man?

God help the nation ,
who serves itself

For it serves not me ,
who serves itself.

FOOTPRINTS

When
In
Doubt

The
Best
Move
Is Right

Look
For
His
Path

When
Yours
Is Not
Seen

Follow
His
Footprints

Know
He
Is
With
You

You
Will
Find
Heaven

Is
Not
Far
From
You...
