Lynn Hoffman Poems

After hearing the noise of a loud explosion, which caused senseless destruction and death:
I want to hear birds sing.
I want to hear my grandchildren's laughter.
I want to hear my husband's snoring.
...

Remember the noise of the bomb exploding, causing death and destruction.
Remember the rescuers.
Remember all the rescue dogs searching endlessly for the dead missing bodies.
Remember all the volunteers who worked hard to serve meals and give comfort.
...
