The Perfect Storm - For the Victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Phillipines 2013

This year has seen the worst tornado and the worst typhoon in history.

Pray that this year does not also bring the worst earthquake.

If that did happen, we would want help.

So go to the Red Cross now, and help families in the Philippines.

Shattered,

Broken,

Shaken,

Stolen.

Silence fills the air,

Where our children played,

Rubble fills the view,

Where nature’s force displayed.

Battled,

Fought,

Destroyed,

Distraught,

Waters came to us,

Wind taking power to see,

The flood surrounded us,

And took our path to flee.

Afraid,

Afflicted,

Confounded,

Restricted.

A monster too great,

Everywhere at once,

In a terrified state,

Dark fear confronts.

Incalculable,

Cost,

Bewildered,

Lost.

The world comes to see,

There is nothing left,

With homes demolished,

And loved ones bereft,

Coming,

Feeling,

Holding,

Healing,

Hand by hand,

Brick by brick,

Bottle by bottle,

Stick by stick,

Warmth of heat,

Heat of hearts,

Darkness cleared,

Healing starts,

Life returning,

Communities reborn,

For your love is stronger,

Than this Perfect Storm.
