Answer 2

Shaken ♥

-Grace Lacoursiere Wulff 2005

When Our Lives Are Shaken

The earth has shaken

The sea roared

Lives changed forever.

Our lives are shaken.

We try to take it in

but it is incomprehensible.

Who can understand the whys

of human tragedy

We taste the bitterness

and grope for answers.

What does one give

To those who have lost so much?

For some it will be a clean cup of water.

A helping hand, an encouraging word.

Being there. Connecting.

When our own lives are shaken

and changed forever

By loss and change that threatens

the very fabric of our souls.

It is the simplest of kindnesses

that plant hope in our beings.

What was once important fades

into nothingness.

Hanging on to hope,

Reaching out to others

Looking to our Creator

This gives life meaning,

and a purpose to live, again.

Answer 3

A New Path

by Nick Alcantara

All I wanted

Was to spend more time

With you

But what I got

Was only a precious few

At least I tried

To make the most

Of what was left

Plans diverted

Too many hurdles

Never made it

To desired stage

Sorry, not much choice

Although it hurts

Life must go on now

Even without you

I must continue

The life that never was

And forged ahead

A new path

Guided by your

Eternal light

And undoubting love

Forever you are always in our hearts.

I think this would be a good poem.
