And It Hit Hard And Fast!


And it hit hard and fast, without warning,
Buildings falling down – what a mess...
The whole place in total destruction,
An earthquake does that, I guess?

But the sadness in the people's eyes,
It really breaks my heart into two...
Seeing them bleakly wondering around-
Not knowing what they are to do?

I watch the television each day,
And the things I see break my heart,
How on earth do they make this right?
Where on earth do they start?

I see the damage that's rife all around,
But more, I see the pain and the fear,
Of the mothers, fathers, sisters brothers,
In fact, all the family members near...

...Near yet far, they search with such pain,
Lifting debris and scared to see what they'll see,
And you watch their mixed emotions,
It so hurts the heart of me...

And so for all those people out there,
My prayers go up for all who are in pain,
And really I hope, yes, I really hope...
That this never happens to you again!
