It's taken me some time to write about this. I am just now able to do it. Cries To The Skies The horror passed but the memory of it all still weighs many down Every life has been changed beyond any damage a storm could do For many, the days ahead can never be cherished like once before And, still some can't find solid ground to find their way through... Sometimes words just aren't enough when there's a world you can't fix Sometimes the rain is so heavy it's impossible to see the sun shine I know the average ones can't always hear the sounds of sadness But, I hope it helps to know that God heard those cries to the skies... When he extended his arms to reach the few that he could It was those who made it safely to dry land For those who never made it to see the next new dawn You must not fear that he ever stopped holding out his hand... I think God chose the ones to give them a much brighter view To show them there's faith beyond any hatred act one can give And, for the one's that must remain without the one's God decided to take Maybe your comfort can be knowing he dies a little too watching you struggle to live... He does not want to see you fall so hard down on your knees But, he wants us to understand that faith isn't what's seen with the eyes Because all in a moment hope and chance screamed from the heart And, his tears fell just the same as he gathered the million cries to the skies... There's a lot to take in when you watch the world crumble and fall And, very difficult to watch the lines of fear run down another's face For those of you who witnessed grief in it's most heartbreaking shade Know I stand with the guilt, that if I could have, I'd taken your place... There were begging and pleading and praying beyond any control Some things answered and some still asked over and over again We can't go back but may it help to know you were all heard that day And, just knowing your cries to the skies and your voices were familiar to him...

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Saunni, I know just how you feel, I wish I could take their places too in the disaster so I would have the ability to share my love with all and offer them hope and comfort with all their golden hearts! (sigh) I pray we all reach up to Him together and cry for solace and trust in His love that He gives to us all! So sad but well-written, sweet friend, you are a true angel to us all and we all love you so much! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (12-28-2001 06:53 PM).] |
