Today's news tells us that four more Canadian soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan ...Four more names will in time be inscribed on the Memorial Page in the Peace Tower in Ottawa ...
Four more families descending into grief ...
Four more lives snuffed out as they were handing candy to children ...
Four more losses in a war that may have no end ...
How many Afghani lives were shattered today?
How many Afghani lives were ended today?
These are not just numbers on a screen ... they are real lives ... real people ... real families ... Here in Canada, and in Afghanistan real tears are falling over the loss of loved ones ...
We pray for peace ... we cry for peace ...
We pray for our soliders, their families, and the people of Afghanistan and Canada as we pray that one day we will find a true and lasting peace ...
Lest we forget ...
