Cherry Blossoms <br /> <br /> <br />unavoidable the outcome is woe! <br />sight seeing destruction the Bible, tells us so <br />the solid ground crumbling as a cracker <br />on the planet we call home <br />' what affects our neighbor ' for no one is alone? <br /> <br />fearful sights unfold before our eye <br />as the children of Japan in terror cry <br />was the earth hungry as it swallowed <br />the residents alive? <br />in a country of great beauty, where the Geisha girl <br />and cherry blossoms thrive <br />the oceans belly swollen and still dangerously active <br />once a view painted on canvas calm, quiet and so attractive <br />now the device of death and destruction is humbling to comprehend <br />leaving us with the knowledge that for too many in Japan it is the end <br /> <br />this world so fragile and yet so fierce can surely stand her ground <br />and now seems to be avenging herself in actions and sound <br />beautiful Japan in your country and art! <br />know that in your distress we have you in our heart <br />' May the Lord care for Japan in this her troubled hour.' <br />Let us who are touched by this destruction pray for Japan <br />and thank OUR LORD that he will keep us all in his power.<br /><br />Myrtle Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cherry-blossoms-17/
