For the people of Haiti

My heart trembles with fear.

Like the ground that shook beneath you

And made your troubles appear.

We don't know the celestial reason

Why that day mother earth did quake

And left wrath and destruction

In her fearsome wake.

All we know now

Is that you need our help.

So friends and foes gather as one

To bring you food

Clothing

Shelter

-to bring you hope.

Though we cannot bring back

Your friends and families

We hope to help you create

New life's memories.
