BROKEN DREAMS

Rivers of tears are flowing
from so many broken dreams,
such a torrent inundating
what were once pure peaceful streams.

The very fabric, of what life once was
torn asunder in these times,
of loss of love, respect and faith
there’s no reason and no rhyme.

Forgiveness fading from our lives
revenge the thing to do,
retaliate, get even
and kill the babies too.

When will the scales be lifted
that blind us to His Word,
when will His, “Come follow Me”
within our hearts be heard.

There is an urging in our hearts
take heed, the time is nigh,
Now is the time for action
before life’s final sigh.
