Paradise

Paradise is lost to never return All we could do is watch it burn The helpless feeling we felt inside The sorrow we felt as families died The hope we have that people survived God opened his arms to countless souls Now comes the task of sifting through the coals All we can do is kneel and pray And hope these families have somewhere to stay The way this fire started is really strange Management control has got to change

I understand your thoughts completely. There is so much going on in the world today. Very sad indeed. I am praying that things change, and for the better. Your words wrap softly around me. ~ Brandy

A timely poem, that says we really need to think about what is happening, and the only thing we can do is pray.
