Tsunami Times
When hard times rain down
on our loved ones; when trials
need to be endured-
they seem to come all at once.
Wouldn’t you agree?
I’d say this year I’ve been hit
not just with a flood -
but rather a tsunami.
First gray clouds gathered.
Then a huge wave rushed forth on
our sweet safety shore -
covering my family.
Oh how I deplore
my own painful conditions.
Others seem to have
burdens of the feeling kind.
Around me I see
those swallowed by tsunamis
not just of grief but
coupled with physical pain.
How aren’t those burdens
more than they can even bear?
One day I will know
the answers to my questions.
I’ll be where only
peace and joy flood over us
