The Day the World Changed
The day the world changed
Never to be the same
How we wish we could retrace our past journey
Our tired bare feet delicately taking tiny baby steps
Taking a totally different rough muddy vulnerable track
History has taught us
We definitely can’t change that
We can’t ever look back
We can never go back
Looking through the wing mirror at our past normal happy lives
Let’s hope today is not the start of an untold legendary prophecy
Fear growing across the peace of our beloved shining Eastern Europe
Citizens queuing for petrol to fill up their cars
Pushed out to escape from their normal safe and precious lives
Leaving the Ukraine invasion
Leaving to go so far away
To who knows where?
Current destination definitely unknown
Just an immediate need to go
Panic, confusion and total fear
Many tears will have already been cried
So many sore red eyes
Let’s hope for no precious blood spilt
Europe still on tenterhooks
The West must stand up
Gripping to some small hope
Clutching onto our anxious fingertips
Today the world changed
