Dedication
The lines had been drawn.
And then they were crossed.
No going back.
To what was lost.
The tears are shed.
In a moment of dread.
And fear rides high.
Like the winds that sigh.
And the angels cry.
For all of those who were lost.
In an act of war.
Please bring us peace
So we cry no more.
-Kristin Marie Smith
