THE NEXT SUNRISE

 

I cannot begin to understand the agony, the heartache…the pain

of the people who lost so much in the recent hurricanes.

 

We see first-hand or on TV what’s happened…but can we really comprehend…

the grief…when the wind and water take a house…a family member…a friend?

 

For those of us who survived the storm…and have reasons to be glad…

the next sunrise doesn’t seem as beautiful…

when the last sunrise left so many feeling so sad.

 

When the color has been swept out of our world…

turning everything a muddy grey

when nothing seems to make sense…

what can make our sadness go away?

 

Certainly we are encouraged when we see strangers helping strangers…

Realizing we are all one family…does make our hearts feel warm…

But I wonder….

Will a sunrise ever be as beautiful as it was before the storm?
