Hold fast To Love

We mourn those scared
innocent screams, but in
the silence of gathering
flowers and flowing of
sensitive tears,
hold fast to love...for
caring is your saving
grace, like echoes that
reach through time give
sweet new beginnings to
future minds.
A poem about the young
children attacked and
murdered in Southport,
at the Taylor Swift
themed event.

What has inspired me Jenny,
What has inspired me Jenny, is seeing those good folk there working together to repair and heal, after the tragic killings amd the mindless rioting; the vast majority of people are decent and I should always remember that.

Moving words
Such moving words Jenny. You did very well to write them. I don't think I would be able to touch such an awful topic.
I can sometimes see a slight trace of a motive that might make an atrocity understandable, though not forgivable, but I just can't for the life of me get my head round how anybody in the world would do such a horrific thing as what happened in Southport yesterday.

Thank you, Jenny.
Thank you, Jenny.
There is so much wielding of knives, sometimes meant for 'enemies' though even then sometimes others getting hurt or killed.
There is a generation that has been robbed of training and foundations by example and precept, and parents afraid to instruct or discipline, and society losing a sense of awe and fear of wrongdoing in the right sense, probably as the awareness of a Sovereign Judge has been abandoned, scorning his help for happiness and doing right as well.

An elegant moving poem for such an awful incident.
Crimes committed that take the lives of young ones are amongst the very worst.
You're right, of course. We defer to love. It's what we trust to overcome the hatred.

This is moving tribute, Jenny
This is moving tribute, Jenny, sensitively done. It's been on my mind all week and can't help wondering what went wrong with this young man. The response of the public, I understand, it's based upon fear. Caring is your saving grace - it's true.
