T.James Becker - A Question to ponder…

A Question to ponder…

A brush fire ravages the hillside
Leaving ash instead or greenery
We sow seeds and plant anew

Floods wash over the lands
Property is damaged and mud soaked
Water subsides we clean, refurbish and rebuild

Tornado's toss houses like toys
Broken lives and displaced people
We reconstructed homes and lend a hand

So is it better to have loved and lost?
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth
Until the hour of separation
With what materials do we repair a heart?
