The first casualty of this war will be trust.
The second, friendship. Faith.
The third, family. Home. Protection.
The fourth, a name. The name.
The last casualty of this war will be love, if love can be destroyed.

If not, then this is a war we should never have fought.

Let us pray love cannot be destroyed.
Let us pray we falter beneath its strength.
Let us pray where it once divided us, it will now bring us back together.

Let us pray.
