tis the morn of autumn’s day
many stand, still in the fray
the ebb of horror that felled real lives
propels the search for who survives

until the heap of rubble’s gone
prayers shall continue on
their essence shall, perhaps, see change
our thoughts and hopes may rearrange

from finding life in that deep dark pit
to hoping for the end of it
then learning those who met demise
bore no pain yet found the prize

the prize of the golden ring
where streets are gold and angels sing
where praises stretch the span of time
not measured in the beats of rhyme

yet seasoned reason sates their souls
and sin is not but empty holes
remnants left, perfected lives
as His will reigns and hope survives

my heart, my heart's a metronome
its constant beat as life intones
rhythm's steady, faithful, true
just as my prayers I lift for you

This is our hope. Though we mourn and suffer still, our hope is in HIM.
Thank you for this heartfelt poem.

Hugs,
Deb
