Prayer For Japan

My heart aches for the poor souls in Japan who suffer unimaginable pain! Prayers are all I can offer....

 

Nowhere near enough warning,
It shouldn’t have been that way!
Thousands lost in a blackened sea
On a horribly shocking day!
The earth ripped apart in a terrible jolt
With a force that shook the world,
As a monster thundered toward the shore
Death and destruction unfurled!
With nowhere to run, they were swept away
Thousands didn’t survive!
But miracles bring them rays of hope
When they find another one alive!
Japan, a country in deep despair,
Human tragedy and broken dreams!
The future for many eternally changed
Lives torn apart at the seams!
I pray for you brothers and sisters,
It’s all I can offer you now!
May hope and courage give you the strength
To rebuild your lives somehow!
And in the days that have yet to come
I pray your suffering will end,
That you will find a new way of life
And your country will rise again!

I watched the destruction from the tidal waves that have hit many countries and I formed a mental image of God harvesting souls. During such a harvest prayers are all we have and your prayer gives strength and hope.
God Bless!

Unbearably sad, Anna. Words cannot say enough to measure the grief that has hit Japan. Your words, though, certainly do sum it up. Prayers are nice, but if prayers are to help, why, then, did this ongoing, continuing horror happen?

Wise insights Anna~
This tragedy certainly puts everything in perspective.
The images of despair, the final outcome, brokenness.
Blessings,
Christine

It happened too fast, Anna, I don't think they had time to evacuate all those tens of thousands of people. I personally think Japan is doing a masterful job, better I feel than we would do if it had happened here. There is no looting, which would certainty be happening here. There have been no price gouging for groceries and goods, in fact some store owners have actually given people what they needed as long as they had it in the store. But you are so right when you say that thousands upon thousands will have their "future for many eternally changed."



Beautiful poem.
