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." 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCmPfeFapX
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:

Has stolen away a piece of me635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rZdQBJ2CE
The horizon is fading, my hope is breaking635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUXCy2VkrX

Is He there? Is He actually looking, is He actually with me?635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOS5bFlsBu
Then I look to the sea where the sails had disappeared635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqO6425CmP
I look to sea that had swallowed up my love
I look back to the heavens and pray635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFx2LZBpLf
Again and again and again635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDIPnPB0eL
I cry and grieve, but I feel my heart mending635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkSvkZqHlO
Not with hope, but with understanding and faith635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOlkmMsZJ
The rain stops, the waves calm635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJqCEMyH0

Carried beneath the waves635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw4ZZBnqjn
The sun on my face635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUfLvp1zCr
A golden glow in a lavish haze635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1MRLKf8tr
And my Father above who is indeed there635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32yEETMmLp
Though my love is gone, my Father is there635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ocgkKBoDh
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.
