    Such deeply touching poems, bringing me to tears. God has gifted her and she's a vessel to speak in poetry for her people. May God be with her, protect her and comfort her during her sorrows and this great trial. May He be with all the innocent in Gaza, men, women and especially the little ones of His. May peace come upon them and justice long withheld prevail. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen. ♾
