[Today's mosaic 'Whats Blooming']
60 years after Sadako Sasaki's death, the story behind Hiroshima's paper cranes is still unfolding
It must be so sad to loose loved ones in such heinous loud uproars, A bombing killing so many innocent lives going about their daily chores unawares, unprotected, unarmed. This is what war does, rips open the souls of so many left to mourn even so many more. Were there flowers blooming then and there? Questions unanswered to this day. Chrysthantemums, peonies, roses. Beautiful little souls hoping one day to be doctors nurses care givers.
paper cranes will tell
so much no more of sorrow
caused by a bombing

Gillena - violence of any kind is a tragedy - so unnecessary in the world in which we live. There are better ways. Thanks for your thought-provoking words, and for linking to Mosaic Monday!

In the face of war and destruction, flowers, children and paper cranes are hardy bloomers.

The story of Sadako is a powerful one. Have you read the childrens' historical novel about her and the thousand cranes? To me, the line that is most powerful here is this one
ReplyDelete"rips open the souls of so many left to mourn even so many more."
Have not read the novel, will look for it when next i go to the library. Thank you for you appreciation Lilian.
