Search Your Heart

When a disaster such
as an earthquake comes
it doesn't give you
lots of warning,
earlier that morning
you were sharing breakfast
with your family
not knowing what the
soon to come future holds,
love and concern and kind words
abound in the happiness of life;
after breakfast some leave
and some stay not knowing
that disaster is not very far away,
then suddenly it happens,
the thing that nobody wanted
but all in some way are affected
by this terribe earthquake;
some loved ones that had left earlier
would never return;
some would return to
dead or missing love ones
upon the day after
to those that survived
reality sets in;
families that were whole have
become broken or missing pieces,
now surviving has become their new way of life,
basic necessities like food and water
clothing and housing are scarce;
yes this is a storm in life,
a testing of their resolve;
for others, on the other side of the earth,
it is a testing of their heart,
knowing others are suffering,
knowing this is an opportunity
for the strong to help those in a weak place;
will they search their hearts and help?
There is hope, some are already helping.

Powerfully sensitive and compassionate, dear James!

You touch the heart of the reader. The fragility of life shows in times as these and consequently we should be more strongly aware of being all on the same "ship", thus we should not continue fighting against each other but love each other and help each other in all moments.
