Pray For Grieving Hearts

In a distant land a little child A refugee child drowns in sea Among many others his body washed on shore The heart breaking news, the horror of their struggle That little boy's picture glued to mind I can not shake it out. Today is Krishna Janmashtami A day of celebration for Hindus Krishna who spoke words of wisdom To guide Arjuna through the chaos and turmoil In the battle of Kurashetra War ends- But battle of grief and suffering Never ends. KrishnaJanmashtami a day of celebration But I am not at peace No festivities no celebrations draw me today I will keep the fast not to celebrate a festival But to pray for that child To pray for suffering humanity I will keep reminding myself Krishna's message All my anger, all my love All my goodwill, all my compassion I surrender to Him I pray and come to Him Give us peace give us light I who am nobody- Sends a prayer for peace And love to all. Pray for grieving hearts.
