Human compassion is grand
We’re here to help each other


Poem Artwork

 As I watched the tragedy unfold

I became helpless and sad

And so was the rest of the world

 

I lost the ability to express

Didn’t know where to begin

My being had gone into recess

 

I became a recluse

Trying to hide from reality

Hoping that it was just a ruse

 

I pretended it was a dream

I’ll soon wake up

And escape the scream

 

How will they survive?

The world comes together as one

And help them to revive

 

Human compassion is grand

We’re here to help each other

Because we share the same stand

Lovely poem. I hope that all is well with you and that you have no one near your heart that has suffered from the earthquake.

Your poem opens with the thought of many, that all you can give is sympathy. But, when the world pulls together in compassion, Haiti will smile again.

Another excellent rendering in verse.
It is a most dire tragedy indeed,but as your poem so beautifully states, we're here to help each other.

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
