Dedicated to those touched by the devastating earthquake/tsunami on December 26. The ripples are still being felt...


Poem Artwork

"IF I COULD"
~~~~~~~
If I
could reach into the tsunami's depths
and pull
your loved ones back from its clutching grasp,
I would.
~
If I
could have stopped the floods before they came
and calm
the savage fury of Nature's wrath,
I would.
~
If I
could breathe life into waterlogged lungs
and give
you sons and daughters, safe and unharmed,
I would.
~
If I
could dry the millions of tears you've cried
and bring
an end to your pain and suffering,
I would.
~
If I
could repair your damaged villages
and make
everything better than it was,
I would.
~
If I
could give you everything that I had,
I would.
This is what I have.  Take what you need.
If I could...

Can't imagine an earthquake large enough to actually disrupt the earth's rotation, let alone the devistation it caused. A thoughtful, heartfelt poem.

Again, your beautiful heart rises to the needs and pains of a suffering world, Karla, and your love, prayers and empathy will, as TRASK has said, "move the hand that moves the world". At such times we have many questions, but only one thing is required - answers to need and standing, as and how we can, alongside. You are a great and immeasurable blessing at such times as these - and always. TY and Bless you, too, LOL Kate xx
