Everyday heroes share the spirit of many as Ukrainian citizens deal with the daily burden of war. Taken from recent news and photos, many images fill the following verses.

Flood of refugees
Fleeing their homeland
Agony fills hearts
Life’s movements unplanned
Others staying behind
Daily grind consumes
Helping in war’s effort
Trauma always looms
Lives turned upside down
Seeing each child’s face
What future beholds?
Hope’s welcoming place
Every day breathes
Transforming each life
Anguish in real time
Never-ending strife
Air raid sirens blare
Witnessing war’s tides
Overwhelming scene
Stress never subsides
Women and children
Facing world alone
Husbands serve in war
Destiny unknown

Beautifully said, my friend. May the joy of Easter Morning and our Savior’s resurrection continue to fill your heart and soul.
