For the babies of Haiti


Fear is Gone

Look across the waters,
Babies dying tonight.
heard across the seashore
screams veiled by fright.

It's a long lonely walk
Stumbling on barefoot feet.
Grandmother's tears have dried
Her heart stopped on the street.

Eyes glazed yellow-red
Dust covers his small head.
Fear escaped yesterday,
Only rocks for a bed.

No doctors for his pain,
His father gone away,
Who will share his sorrow,
when quaking shakes the bay?

This is beautiful, though so very sad. I do like the way that you wrote this. There is so much terror in the world, and you've captured it so well in this piece.

A very good poem , much I could say. But some times some thoughts are best unwritten.
