Blurred Vision
When the bombs came down
There in Blitzkrieg town
Dust was everywhere
In my eyes and hair
Blurred vision
It was dark at night
Very scary sight
With all their power and might
We put up a fight
Blurred vision
Soon my Mom was gone
And it wasn’t long
Before my Dad was too
What was I to do
Blurred vision
Then the Allies came
And no more the flame
Lit the sky at night
Filling us with fright
Blurred vision
They set up the tents
Where the children went
While they rebuilt
Buildings all but silt
Blurred vision
No one slept at night
Though the moon was bright
Though the bombing ceased
And now there was peace
Blurred vision
Till one day they heard
That the children feared
That the sun would rise
And bring hunger cries
Blurred vision
So each child was fed
Just a slice of bread
And they held it near
To take away their fear
Blurred vision
And all through the night
Till the morning light
They held their slice of bread
While they slept in bed.
Clear vision
They could see
With the tears of hunger gone
The night wasn’t so long
And a child could sing a song
Without
Blurred vision
After World War II in London, the orphans couldn’t sleep at night as they were cared for by the Allies. It was found that they were afraid that they wouldn’t have any bread in the morning when they woke up – they would be hungry. So the Allies gave each child a piece of bread to hold through the night and they could sleep fine.
“Why do you work so hard for what is not bread, and spend your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance.”
Isaiah 55:2
After people really go without necessities, they begin to learn what actually satisfies.
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger.”
John 6:35
“Incline your ear and come to me. Listen, that you may live…”
Isaiah 55:3
When you are afraid, when you can’t sleep at night, take out His word and start reading in Isaiah chapter 40 and keep going till you fall asleep. It is like the children, who held close their slice of bread till morning.
