Peace On Earth

 

I think this video and U2 have it right.  We need Heaven on earth...Peace on Earth. 

 It drives it home to me when I pass a military cemetary and I see countless white crosses of our military being added daily. 

 It drives it home to me when I visited with my grandson who has returned home from Iraq visit  and I see:  His innocence gone...his youthful face changed to that of a war-savaged soldier. 

It drives it home to me when the economic state of our America has high unemployment and my Grandson and many just like him, must remain in the military in order to provide financial security for their families.  Josh has been accepted into Special Forces and will be leaving soon for Jump School training .  Followed with the Special Forces Training.  This means he will be with the Elite...he will be where there is war...where there is no peace...  

 

It drives it home to me when as I age, I see the elderly like myself, dependent upon our children to care for us, because we cannot care for ourselves. 

 

 It drives it home to me when I have lost so many that I have loved, that I find myself waiting....waiting for...

Peace on Earth
