Haiti Cries . . . And We Cry With Them
(A prayer as we search through the rubble)
Earth shaking
Home breaking
Ground-moved-the-mountain-into-my-way tragedy!
Broken bodies
Broken hearts
Broken lives.
Haiti cries
And we cry with them.
God,
Our hearts are aching as we try to imagine what the daylight brought
To our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
Heal the young eyes that have seen far too much on this day.
Heal the hearts of many who have lost friends, family and a way of life on this day.
Be with those who are missing
And those who are dying outside of the grasp of
Loving hands to hold them
Loving voices to soothe them.
Move us over here from empathy to action
From sympathy to substance
As we contemplate what can be done to help
Today
And many days
Into a forever-changed future.
Amen.
