HAITI - do not cry-this world is standing by <br />we are there with shovel in hand <br />because we understand. <br /> <br />your faith and hopes will not go unheard <br />we will try to save every girl and boy. <br />men and women, husbands and wives <br />sons and daughters struggling and in despair <br />and yet with their neighbor they will share. <br />the little that they have to eat <br />and help others in the street. <br /> <br />you hear their cry to GOD above: <br /> <br />lift me up GOD- lift me even higher <br />let me feel your might <br />let me feel your fire <br />let me never know what it is <br />to give up hope or faith <br />keep me strong it's not too late. <br /> <br />so many people have died in this tragedy <br />is this the way that it must be. <br />must we see all this death and destruction <br />to open up our minds, <br />and to understand your message <br />that we're running out of time.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiti-s-strength/
