Comfort For Haiti

Remembering the West Indies precious country of Haiti Whereupon an early Winters day during the sunsets hours At 4:53 pm on the twelfth day of January 2010 A 7.0 earthquake, ripped the earth apart in this pearl of an Island; Priceless Wherein 250,000 thousand Beautiful Souls then stepped through, the Door Unto 'Everlasting Paradise;' tears no more So, take Heart, "Dear Beautiful Lights" for "Love," has led "You Home!"... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...."The 'God of Wonders'" ~ Note: Smile ~ This Soul stirring verse gripped my own so much that I asked Christopher Marcum if I could borrow it because, I wished its Bright Light amid my own Hearts Box for, it Soars through these veins ~ "'Love,' Always," John!:) ~

Never to be forgotten are the souls that flew away during this tragic event, John. May they who lost their lives find eternal peace and those given one more "day" complete their purpose, I pray so when that day comes there can be no regret...that our souls would literally "dance" with the utmost joy to be reunited with Our Lord and King! This is soul stirring, filled with hope's resounding call to every man, woman and child..."work for the night coming when no man can.."! Peace &Love, Annalise

250,000 those are not dollars. and yet they balk at the chance to help the people to this late date. dark forces are behind thes things. and an even darker force will punish them. thank you for your comment on my work T. S.

I think you better stay away from my poems, too, I did not appreciate your comment about my 'rats' poem ('you should know'). I suggest you restrict yourself to writing poems, which you seem capable enough of doing...
