is it wrong
to want to give of myself
to board a plane
and travel to the ravaged Haiti

how I wish
that I could do more
than donate the monetary token

I believe that one should do what one can do
they will need a lot of help to rebuild
not only their city and the infrastructure
but their lives and their families ...

the thing that I noted was their faith
remains strong ...
I think back to 9-11 and how upset people
were with God and the government
and again with Katrina ...
both huge tragedies with much loss of life
and property ...
and yet I see the people of Haiti
praising the Lord for the fact that they are still alive ...

and I feel that I should be doing more
maybe I will just say another prayer ...
