The Cries Of Our Planet ...( Dedicated to Japan )
I was asked by a friend from Hubpages, ThisIsMyLife9123, who has friends and family in Japan that were affected by this tragedy, to write a poem in dedication to them.
I felt honored that she asked, and I tried my hardest to make it the best that I could for her, and for everyone suffering from the earthquake and tsunami

...
The sirens sound
the earth rumbles
glass rains down
walls crumble
This couldn’t be prepared for…
Not much time for warnings
not many places to hide
routines abruptly interrupted
changing the rest of lives
Suffering will surely follow…
Towering walls of ocean
pushing unto the land
erasing what they worked for
dealing a tragic hand
How could they have known
that this was approaching
when all they could feel
was the water surrounding?
Everything they knew was erased …
Earth’s power unleashed
devastating their cities
tearing apart homes
ripping apart hearts
may they find peace
asking God…please
They’re looking for their loved ones...
If we could imagine
the hurt that they’re feeling
if we could comprehend
the pain that they’re in
our hearts would go out
sending our thoughts
outpouring of love
giving our prayers
to the One up above
There is power within hope...
Disaster can strike
at any given moment
may we cherish each one
and live to the fullest
Let us care truly
for our fellow man
whose hurt is so deep
as much as we can
We’re all connected through our humanity…
Japan
America
it matters not where
we mustn’t take for granted
a single day that we share
