Haiti  : January 12.... 2010-02-03.... 16:23 hrs
 
The dreadful Earthquake struck suddenly
That unsuspecting day in January
From Palace to hut the indifferent Quake
Unleash its wrathful fury,
 
Buildings crumbled like falling leaves to the ground
Killing and trapping the unsuspecting thousands
In its  round
 
Plumes of dust arose in the air
Amidst screams and groans of its victims' fear
Masks of terror and confusion etched their faces
Of victims fleeing for their lives to safer places
Poor Haiti what have you done
To receive such an awful Fate?

Haiti did nothing to receive such an awful fate. But... one can look at the devastation and terror and negativity that has come from the earthquake, or choose to look at the miracles that have come from it. I choose the later... I see the phoenix rising from the rubble and I'm continually amazed at the resiliancy and tenacity and strength of the people I love so much.
