When (For Haiti)

Posted by threeleafshamrock on January 25, 2010 - 13:13
from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

When your world stops and all comes tumbling down,
When God has turned his back - or so it seems,
When all is darkness and hope can't be found,
When living nightmares, take the place of dreams,
When all seems hopeless; you alone and lost,
When fear's your one and only spiteful friend,
When the price of holding on 's not worth the cost,
When you start wishing that it all would end;
Wait! Wait for me...I am coming...

Love the repetition, Chris - very rhythmical! And of course, a wonderful, beautiful sentiment!

Thanks Magic. The pics on the TV would melt your heart (especially the little baby that they found) and the volunteer rescuers do a wonderful job. This is for them, as much as for the people of Haiti.

we can't even begin to imagine can we, your poem could apply to so many situations, but with Haiti so much in focus it highlights the work of the rescuers so well, just as well they never give up hope,
