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." 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiZedB86Wy
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 feet642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgsLFnqDhe

The sea with its merciless tail and monstrous teeth642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9XYBpIMG2
Has stolen away a piece of me642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLyJrkg90b
The horizon is fading, my hope is breaking642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yRcfx3uAg
I lift my head up to the sky, trying to glimpse a piece of Him642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiGNgf6BIA
Is He there? Is He actually looking, is He actually with me?642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVzawTFm67
Then I look to the sea where the sails had disappeared642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwumOZTm3t
I look to sea that had swallowed up my love
I look back to the heavens and pray642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLxQmcKI21
Again and again and again642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwJfEDPdpf
I cry and grieve, but I feel my heart mending642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zxGY5iINO
Not with hope, but with understanding and faith642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZEsBP5oW
The rain stops, the waves calm642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQx1o3IegY
The sand beneath my feat642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PPQas8P98
Carried beneath the waves642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgUQHeJjai
The sun on my face642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WeJxdFPxs
A golden glow in a lavish haze642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCHz4nQbbH
And my Father above who is indeed there642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLE9JzWlyO
Though my love is gone, my Father is there642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4Oy31aBb
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.
