Your Light Shines Bright

To the teams of rescuers on the front line in Haiti
The Pilots, the Soldiers, and Truck Drivers
The Doctors, Nurses, and the Aides
The Clergymen, Volunteers
To the average Haitian giving of themselves
To meet the needs of their fellowmen

Your light shines bright in this dark hour
As a beacon to all the world 
Rewards more precious than priceless gems
To you and yours are assured
In a place where time can neither erase nor robbers pilfer
God blessings to you all

This lovely poem reminds me of 1977 as I survived a 7.6 earthquake in Bucharest/Romania. I was on the 13th floor that awful evening of March 4th :( I feel for those poor souls in Haiti. I cannot believe that the UN soldiers ordered a big team of doctors and nurses to leave Haiti as Dr. Sanje Gupta - the CNN correspondent said today on TV. They are crazy to do that. Thank you for your comments. Love, Iolanda
