Events throughout our history, <br />and things that move us deep. <br />Are the monumental disasters, <br />the ones that make us weep. <br />Like the abduction of children, <br />the crashing of a plane. <br />For these events make tears stream, <br />like rain on window panes. <br />They remind us of mortality, <br />and the precious price of life. <br />And the hope that we avoid encounters, <br />with these forms of strife. <br /> <br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/things-that-move-us-deep/
