Can Love rise higher than the level of the flood?
Can Peace move in on the wings of a dove?
Can Hope ride restless winds so strong
to reach those who have lost their song?

Will we rise?
Will we rise?


Rise to share our lullaby?

Will we rise?
Will we rise?


Hold those hands up high?

When we see that smile return
then we can understand
the power in all this weakness—
the power in all this struggle—

the power in the warmth
of helping hands.

Hello jtl05~ wave.gif  

This is a wonderful and heartfelt remembrance of the lingering tragedy of the Gulf Coast!

You have expressed such love and hope within your brevity!

With prayers and continued help, the human spirit will come through!

We will rise!

Great poem!
