I live in Manchester with my beloved family and friends and it is with great shock that I turned on the news today, whilst on holiday, to hear of the senseless and evil terrorist attack at a concert attended by so many of our vulnerable youngsters. I have no words, except for these below, which offer me a little help in times like this. Stay safe, love each other a little bit harder today, it’s all we can do. We are strong, broken but strong…
When devastation is all around
Look for the people helping
When terror shakes your very ground
There are always people helping
When evil robs the unlived years
There is always someone helping
To heal the wounds and wipe the tears
Be thankful for those helping
The evil doer has no name
Let’s name the good and kind
And the people lost and the people changed
And the loved ones left behind
Poem: Donna Ashworth
