• As you all have heard tuesday January 12 2010 there was a massive earthquake in Haiti. Many lives have been loss. Many are injured and in pain. Many lost their loved ones and children are separated from their family. Also many people who are from Haiti that live here are waiting anxiously to hear word of their love ones. This is a poem I wrote for them. Please pray for those unfortunate victims. Thank you.



    Oh Lord Why Me?

    Oh lord why me?

    Why us?

    Our home is disastrous

    My mother, my father...gone.

    The disaster lasted so long.

    It was dark

    Scary

    Alone

    We didn't know which way to go

    We tried to get away

    From the quivering of the earth

    But

    Building after building

    Home after home

    Collapsed.

    Destroyed.

    Went down to the ground

    I grabbed my mom's hand tighter

    But I noticed it was my sister's doll

    I looked around and around while

    the earth was shaking under me

    I couldn't find her.

    I couldn't find my mother

    It was too dark to see around me

    I couldn't see

    I couldn't breathe

    I couldn't think

    I ran

    I ran as fast as I could

    To get away

    To get away from it all

    Leave it all behind me

    But as i ran

    Building after building

    Home after home

    Collapsed.

    Destroyed

    Fell down to the ground

    People screaming

    In fear

    And in pain

    Praying to God

    Yelling that they were going to die

    I ran

    And I ran

    Until finally a building collapsed on me

    I fell to the dirt

    Pain in my entire body

    I yelled and I screamed

    For my mother, for my father

    To God

    Oh please God! Let not this be the end!

    I don't want to die!

    Why?

    Oh why lord did this happen?

    Did we do something wrong?

    No, our bond is strong

    Mother, father, sister and me

    Our love is strong

    I can not give up hope

    WE cannot give up hope

    But I am scared

    I hear

    Building after building

    Home after home

    Collapse!

    Destroyed!

    Fall down to the ground

    People screaming

    People crying

    In fear.

    in pain.

    Praying to God.

    Yelling that they are going to die

    I still can't help but wonder

    Oh lord why me?

    Why us?
