Heart of the Forge

In the land where the sun rises, Where the river flows with dreams untold, A child stands alone, amidst the cries, Innocence shattered, heart turned cold. The drums of war echo through the night, Armed youth march with fury and hate, Leaving behind a trail of fright, As families scatter, sealed by fate. Oh, mother, where have you gone? By Your lullabies lost in the wind’s wail, I search for you from dusk till dawn, In this darkened land where shadows prevail. The stars above, they flicker and fade, As I wander through the ruins of home, Each step I take, a memory made, In this desolate world, I roam alone. But deep in my heart, a flicker of hope, That one day, peace will find its way, And in the light, I will learn to cope, With the love of a family, come what may.
