A prayer for Syria

For the toddlers found in the sea

A prayer for Syria
 
Oh lord assist those fleeing from the wrath of iniquity.
Oh lord, assuage their fears, provide them shelter and offer your care,
For you are their only hope, as humanity stares in despair.
Oh lord, prevent those lifeless bodies from floating in the sea, desperate and helpless but dauntless when attempting to flee.
 
A tear drop in the ocean may go unnoticed, but lifeless infants floating from a hollow depth is a rare instance.
Oh people of mankind, do not mistaken their desperation for belligerence,
As wayward emotions seek to protect their innocents.
Oh lord, grant them mercy and punish those inflicting this pain, the so called militants with unknown aims.
 
A prayer for the lost souls, and a hope for those still in the dark.
Oh lord, be merciful and give them a new journey to embark.
One without anguish and desolation, one that flourishes in abundance.
Oh lord, grant them the rest they deserve after all those years of torment and injustice.
For they are us, only in different circumstances.
 
Amen
