When our eyes open to a new day,
rising from a warm bed,
and it’s a Friday,
and the sun is rising in view,
and spring is in the air,
and food and drink are at our fingertips,
and we live under a roof with loved ones,
and the house is warm,
and we wash with warm water,
and we dress in clean clothes,
and we look forward to our tasks, our school, our work for the day,
and we will see friends,
and make plans to go out,
and pick up things we need,
and watch a movie,
and it’s quiet, peaceful …
then we remember.
We remember those in Ukraine.
Those whose days looked just like ours only days ago.
weep with those who weep
Romans 12:15
