Hearts Ripped Apart

Watching the evening news one night. Hearing how another lost their life. Even though it isn't close to home. It still hits a nerve. Confused inside herself wishing there was a way to help. With no money and a heavy heart, she sat praying for a new start. Praying for all those who died and those still alive. Confused inside herself wondering how many landslides occur a day? How many trucks fall of the cliffs of the Himalayas? How much more can India endear? As their roads wash away some more. stranded with no form of communication. Hoping for the trucks to arrive carrying supplies. With love in their hearts, and faith in their souls they start rebuilding their world.
