A Wave of Tears.
We stare in silent disbelief.
With surrendered emotions we weep.
For once again Mother Nature stirred.
And a wave of tears rose from her oceans deep.
Washing away generations, young and old.
Whole families swept away.
Out to sea from whence they came.
Took that wave of tears on that fateful day.
Why has He forsaken us? We do not understand.
To unite us all maybe an answer!!
All religions, colours walk now hand in hand.
Forget our differences, suspicions and hates
Resolve all our worries and fears.
Let us never forget the day our lives changed
Changed by that wave of tears.
With surrendered emotions we weep.
For once again Mother Nature stirred.
And a wave of tears rose from her oceans deep.
Washing away generations, young and old.
Whole families swept away.
Out to sea from whence they came.
Took that wave of tears on that fateful day.
Why has He forsaken us? We do not understand.
To unite us all maybe an answer!!
All religions, colours walk now hand in hand.
Forget our differences, suspicions and hates
Resolve all our worries and fears.
Let us never forget the day our lives changed
Changed by that wave of tears.

She certainly has a furious and devestating way of showing us.
A wonderful poem.....creating a wave of tears deep inside of me.
I am also touched by how people of many nations offer their assistance as Niah has mentioned.
Let's hope this tragedy will bring us all closer together.
Resolve all our worries and fears.

Beautiful expression, "A wave of tears"
Pilgrim I take your words as a complement as you are one of many whose poems I aspire to.
Cristina thankyou also for your kind words.
enough is enough. Prayers for the
souls lost.
Oh how our lives truly changed by--that wave of tears!
We're so dependent on each other--and realize how small 'the world is'--when these terrible things happen--they affect so many all around the world.
Why can't we just get along? We're all of 'One blood'--One Human Family.
