We Look To You Haiti Poem by Kathleen West

We look to you Haiti with tears in our eyes.
The devastation so bleak, and the painful cries
With our technology we see it and cannot believe
What more can we do but watch it on TV

We're moved with emotion as each day unfolds
Stories of heroes, and human suffering are told
All the world wants to help, but it's so hard to do
With no power, clean water, shelter and food

With a heart that is heavy, we watch and we wait
Our loved ones were there on mission that day
May God send down his spirit, and comfort our pain
And unite all his people, in his holy name.

We look to you Haiti with hope in our heart
We'll all work together, and help you make a new start
All the world unites for Haiti, may it strengthen our faith
And unite all God's people in his holy name.



...my thoughts penned this morning.....praying for my father-in-law and his friend who have done missionary work in Haiti for 30 years. They are still missing.
