TO LOSE A HOME

To the families displaced by the storm in Haiti.






Helpless souls mourning
Hearts crying
Tears falling from the sky
Man striving to survive

Why is life so cruel?
Inflicting pain in our homes
Stealing away our happiness
In the middle of a sunny day

Why must the heart suffer?
When everyday we pray
Isn't the world created perfectly?
I thought this to be true when I was young

The world is beautiful
Enough to hold dreams 
Dreams of children playing in the park
Friends hugging each other smiling

Couples on a honeymoon 
Family taking pictures on a holiday
A mother bathing a newly born baby
But all this memories are gone
