It's a hard time and a...different time to say the least. For some, this whole experience is new. But we can all do this together if we just have faith and trust in another.
I read one time in "This I Believe" (a book where people - like Albert Einstein, Warren Christopher, and just normal people like Sarah Adams - write what they believe) a man who wrote - he goes by the name of William O. Douglas - "Then one day in a moment of great crisis, I came to understand the words of my father: 'If I die, it will be glory; if I live, it will be grace.' That was [my father's] evening star - the faith in a power greater than man...we need the faith of our father's...the faith that dedicates us to something bigger and more important. Only if we have faith will we be able guide the destiny of nations, in this the most critical period of world history. This I believe." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyOxVcMsZf
I also read, in the same book, Warren Christopher's beliefs. He believed that there will always be moments "when one must rely upon the good faith and judgement of others. So, while each of us faces - at one time or another - the prospect of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn with experience is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust."
And, with that, here's my poem:
The sand beneath my feet721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6brvVbTYsB
Stolen away from me721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPfAipfAz
The sun nowhere to be seen721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJv6eYpr9
Rain pounding on my face721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXOOvPfS7Q
I look and I look but I see nothing721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgCyrG14Y
I pray to my Father but I hear nothing721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXMjyfGNp
The sea with its merciless tail and monstrous teeth721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtcclUjTw3
Has stolen away a piece of me721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTrfXzy2iZ
The horizon is fading, my hope is breaking721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcuwSg63I6
I lift my head up to the sky, trying to glimpse a piece of Him721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPhUloOp84
Is He there? Is He actually looking, is He actually with me?721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdeVlUdEjd
Then I look to the sea where the sails had disappeared721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFx1drTtFf
I look to sea that had swallowed up my love
I look back to the heavens and pray721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhjkidtMnw
Again and again and again721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwlXyDrI33
I cry and grieve, but I feel my heart mending721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsyer3xrfV
Not with hope, but with understanding and faith721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZU7iD29s2
The rain stops, the waves calm721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqLZY96pBx
The sand beneath my feat721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXu7GoOlSg
Carried beneath the waves721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GkvdwcBc
The sun on my face721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEIjoBGqL8
A golden glow in a lavish haze721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZqfPVtTT5
And my Father above who is indeed there721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco29nVfzmc
Though my love is gone, my Father is there721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuukGChWwtj
He will always be there
This is not for the those in India, however. I wrote this poem for those who have lost a loved one. A child, a friend, a husband, a wife, a brother, a sister.
