walking in mud barefoot
woman with child carries the world
on her head crying

Thanks James. The poor people of Pakistan are really in trouble because of all the flooding. It just breaks my heart!

Sunkissed - I can barely stand to think of all the suffering in Pakistan but in other places as well.

Thank you for reading and responding!

You are a deeply compassionate soul, dear Marti. It is indeed terrible what people have to endure ... You say it with the grace and power of your heart.

Love,
Margherita

Margherita - Thank you so much sweet lady. My heart just breaks for these people and their government doesn't seem to be doing anything to help them.
God help them all.

Marti, the scope of the flooding in Pakistan is beyond all comprehension. You imparted a great deal of emotion in expressing the plight of its people with an economy of words.
