M ANCHESTER ~ A friendly and loving City
A PLACE where you feel safe and welcome
N OBODY expected it to be a scene of such
C HAOS & HORROR ! But after the bomb everybody
H ELPED each other ~ and ran towards the danger
E VERYBODY ~ Police ~ Medical Workers ~ Homeless
S TUDENTS ~ to give what help the could and BLOOD !
T OGETHER they restored order ~ gave dignity to Dead
E NABLED the wounded to get to Hospital ~ We will always
R EMEMBER The LOVE of Manchester ~ Forgive & Forget the HATE
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ we're still crying
Please Pray for MANCHESTER ~ Love & Peace to All ~ BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: I know MANCHESTER well and it is a Great City to visit and study in. It is a City of Culture and Sport with a Famous Orchestra (The Halle) famous groups (like OASIS) and two of th best Football (Soccer) Teams in the Universe ~ MANCHESTER UNITED & MANCHESTER CITY ! Citizens of the North of England ~ Like Mancunians and its neighbours ~ Liverpudlians ~ are noted for their Sense of Humour ~ Friendliness and love of Culture. The motto and spirit to overcome and recover ~ from this Atrocity is MANCHESTER LOVE ~ Please pray that LOVE will overcome EVIL ~ AMEN ~ Love BRIAN XOX

A fine write and tribute B.
Thanks STEVEN ~ Knowing Manchester well ~ I am very very upset and felt I should pen another tribute ! Yours BRIAN
Thanks B. I'm miles from there, but it's stinging, painful, sorrowful. Well, we don't laugh if a wasp stings us. 'Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted'.
No other word I can think of fits better than the word grief . Grieving , griefstricken . But as you say we must forgive as God forives us . But the grief remains .
THANKS BROTHER ~ It is at times like this that Prayer is so important ! We had a TOWNWIDE one last night for MANCHESTER ~ The wounded & bereaved and for all our Leaders ~ AMEN
Beautiful what a beautiful poem for Manchester I have friends who live in Manchester so I understand what many are going through luckily my friends weren't near the bomb. I hope others who weren't as lucky as me stay strong.
Thanks ALANIS ~ Your support for MANCHESTER is much appreciated t this sad time ~ Yours BRIAN
Another fine write for the grieving city - so pleased to see the leaders of ALL religious beliefs (and none) coming out so strongly to declare their abhorrence.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ sometimes EXTREMES drive us closer together ~ All I am saying is "Give Peace a Chance" BRIAN
A superb tribute! I love how you ended on "Forgive and forget hate". I'm so sorry for what you are going through. Prayers and spiritual hugs-Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ I just wanted to express how sickened most people in the UK felt ~ especially those with links to Manchester. Two poems are adequate and I have had some lovely comments ~ Thanks for yours. Thanks for your Prayers ~ Holy Hugs back to you ~ BRIAN
Hugs.
Lovely tribute to Manchester, wonderful poem
THANKS SHANNON ~ Yes she is a beautiful CITY and I just felt (as I know her so well !) I should add another tribute. We are all a bit happier tonight because the Soccer Team ~ MANCHESTER UNITED ~ went to STOCKHOLM (Sweden) tonight and beat AJAX 2 : 0 to win the Europa Cup. They said they did it of the injured and bereaved and to restore Manchester's Pride ~ AMEN Yhanks for your comments ~ Yours BRIAN XX
Yes that did definitely lift everyone's spirits, and your welcome
A good write for this sad event. The Mancunians are strong and their love and strength is being shown as they deal with the horror of this hideous attack.
