Behold I am alive for ever and ever!

Budding poet James M has penned another poem.

Behold I am alove for ever and ever!

Tragically they did not make it alive
From the Tsunamis or the earthquakes
Survivors’ stories recounted the destructive paths
And images of devastated landscapes
Confirmed the abrupt end to any peaceful world
A sight that epitomizes their plights and grieves my soul
Is the sight of tears streaming heavily from a surviving old woman
Crying from her wrinkled face touches my heart
It appears that she has lost much in the aftermath
Images of her sad expression flash again in my mind
Painful is the suffering from any tragic loss of life
It penetrates deep into the hearts of the survivors
The wrath of this Mother Nature is indeed merciless
She wounds deep at the least and brings death at her worst
Leaving damaged survivors only to mourn in endless days
Let's bury the dead, live for now and live for another day
My world is ruined as they cry helplessly
And may ponder 'what now, where now and where is hope'
Our days are truly numbered and brief are our glories
For our days are like grass and our glories are like flowers
Say Isaiah and the Psalmist in the Holy Bible
Here today and perhaps gone in a flash tomorrow
How does one quench the poor souls' sorrows
Is there hope beyond all hope on earth
There is but One who has conquered death
The only One in history to have lived out these words of His
"I WAS DEAD, AND BEHOLD I AM ALIVE FOR EVER AND EVER!"
He is described as the Wonderful Counselor, Comforter
And His kingdom is not of this world with an end in sight
His kingdom is one that is forever eternal
Where death, tears and suffering will forever be no more
