You hear gunshots in the morning
You start your day with some fear
You walk along the path of tragedy
You meet and greet pain on the road

People speak of violence and clashes
Children play with bullets and bombs
Buses come under fire at check points
Passengers get killed and wounded

These were the days of the warlords
Now they are no more in charge of us
The clerics ambushed and chased them
The city is quiet and calm these days

Does this silence has some depth
Or is it superficial and deceptive?
We don't know
We are on the balance

I hope and pray Abdi Noor that it will be the quiet and calm needed for Somalia to begin to heal and resume the goals for a better way.
Please continue to share with us so we can pray with you. Blessings to you, your family, and your country!

The brink of disaster, Abdi-noor, when children play with bullets and bombs instead of dollies and toy cars...when will we ever learn? A powerful, heartwrending write of pain--you and your family are ever in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((HUGS))))) and love, Karla.
