TYPHOON!

IN U.S. WE REMEMBER OUR MILITARY VETERANS ON NOVEMBER 11

"To care for him who shall have born the battle,

and for his widow and his orphan..."

--Abraham Lincoln

TYPHOON

this week, I share pride for U.S. military

--past and present--

with deep sadness for the dead, living,

wounded of the Philippines.  

i pray for those who bravely continue 

searching for and retrieving bodies, 

dead and alive. 

also I'm grateful for nations which 

unselfishly give their resources 

to help temporary limping impoverishment 

of southern Philippine Islands

whether ten, or ten thousand 

listed dead, injured, missing--

a weary heart, same sadness

God understands that looting and badness

come not from greed

but human need.

heaven's gate, bustling activity

souls arriving--proclivity

having been long ago

inspired, implanted 

by God Himself.

in the end, 

everything will be OK.
since OK it is not

also not yet the end!
