Overcoming Tragedy

Tragedy can tear us down, but Hope lifts us up.

Overcoming Tragedy

by, Melissa R. Mendelson

 

Tragedy are the hands

tearing this world apart,

stealing lives away from future.

Tears are the rain thundering down,

flooding the corridors of our hearts,

and no sun could shine

this turmoil away.

The world is still reeling,

and tragedy lingers still.

Some say this world will end,

and in a blink of an eye,

we could be gone,

lost in tragedy.

But we forget hope.

Hope slipped from Pandora’s Box

and struggles against the waves of torment.

We can’t give up

but stand strong.

The hands of tragedy

may tear this world down,

but the arms of love,

embrace

will hold us together,

heal

what was broken.

And we will start over again.

Yes! Words of wisdom. What would we rather be doing, hoping and praying, or worrying? This is where a leap of faith comes in.

Ever,
Christine

It's frightening what happened to Japan and that bus crash on I-95, but somehow, we have to stay strong.

Thanks, Regis.
