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." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA175VZSyt
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 feet615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPH7fGsMmX
Stolen away from me615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm5gvE0WCk
The sun nowhere to be seen615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB6TKxvooh
Rain pounding on my face615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbtnW9xyQM
I look and I look but I see nothing615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicYjBA5iAw
I pray to my Father but I hear nothing615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG6hOTH7qY
The sea with its merciless tail and monstrous teeth615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0492OuiBUJ
Has stolen away a piece of me615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4oYzwaZVo
The horizon is fading, my hope is breaking615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Zm8qED9X
I lift my head up to the sky, trying to glimpse a piece of Him615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lpfcVOvYl
Is He there? Is He actually looking, is He actually with me?615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqnrdRMHAn
Then I look to the sea where the sails had disappeared615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNft84aQeG
I look to sea that had swallowed up my love
I look back to the heavens and pray615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUPaw2e0aM
Again and again and again615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdjwjs1Dz4
I cry and grieve, but I feel my heart mending615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpvDVhMoXs
Not with hope, but with understanding and faith615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO12lBFpgEh
The rain stops, the waves calm615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8oWflraQP
The sand beneath my feat615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7evCOnGC5
Carried beneath the waves615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3vHCaPXUA
The sun on my face615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG9MDLhoa7
A golden glow in a lavish haze615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbLeuFYNaM
And my Father above who is indeed there615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpZLjezHHc
Though my love is gone, my Father is there615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Y0L6jguJ
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.
