Haiti
January 13, 2010 by poeticsurvivant

We can never understand

what these people are going through,
the destruction of homes and lives
of buildings old and new


As we see the images
on our computers and TV’s
our hearts go out for the people
and the suffering we see


Looking at the pain and grief
on the faces before our eyes,
we must reach out and help
as it’s not too late to save lives


There is so much that they need
Help can come in many ways
Shelter, food, search and rescue
is required over the coming days


So many lives have been lost
Let us pray with all our hearts
as these people don’t deserve
to have their world torn apart


In a land where life was tough
before the earthquake hit
Now things are so much worse
but we can all do a little bit


So look inside your conscience
Can you help in any way?
Your donation will make a difference,
for the needed aid it will help pay


Show we ALL care.

~ Karen , January 2010





Haiti
was written by Karen who lives in North Wales UK. Karen sent us a link to her poem in hopes of bringing awareness to the plight of Haiti. Eleven years ago she was the victim of a violent sexual attack and began writing poems as a way to express feelings and emotions. Karen writes about anything and anyone that "touches" her.

Karen's late maternal grandfather (who she adored) was deaf and was a fan of Marlee Matlin. Karen inherited his love of Marlee and describes Marlee as a "VERY inspirational lady".





Academy Award winning actress Marlee Matlin is a member of the Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet.

On Wednesday, Marlee sent out a tweet:

Thank you for your generosity>WOO HOO! As a Red Cross board member GRATEFUL to u ALL


(At the time of the Haitian earthquake, we were in the midst of editing a page for Marlee. Her complete page will be published online shortly)
