Once upon a time sure was nice;
We traveled about freely without fearing for our life.
Time has really brought a drastic change;
From day to day, things are not the same.
I pray often for the day
When children can go out to safely play;
A day when people will get along –
Praying and singing; rejoicing in song.
We watch and wait wondering what to do;
Trusting in God’s Word to carry us through.
On our knees, we should daily fall
Repenting of our sins and praying for all.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable,
If there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy
of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8, ESV)
