"FEARLESS is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death." Taylor Swift


So many things have changed from that day.
People have come and gone,
Some scared and broken and others lost but not found.
Forced to say goodbye to their loved ones,
Because now they are in heaven watching from above.
Buildings turned to rubble,
And people without houses,
Roaming the streets for food and shelter.
Children without families or anyone to care.
So much sorrow, pain, and suffering everywhere.
Do we sit around and watch?
Or do we lend a helping hand?
We feel as though we can’t do anything,
But don’t you see we can.
Pray for the broken and the lost.
Just pray for the devastation.
Pray for the people of Haiti.

I just feel that the people of Haiti and now Chile need our prayers. I would hate to have to go through something of that magnitude. I just hope that my poem touches some of your hearts.
