Free At Last
The words of Martin Luther King take on a different meaning here. I have been writing about the earthquake in Haiti for days now but I can scarcely tire, as I write people are out there digging their way through stone, some digging in and some digging out. This 7.0 earthquake devastated the capital of Haiti, leaving it in many places just heaps of rubble. But there is hope even after 5 days, survivors are still being found.

Free At Last For
three days under the rubble she stayed Rescuers
dug above the area where she laid Every
stone they moved brought greater hope Ears
where caressed when she said send down a rope And
they did and she put it around her waist They
pulled slowly but surely taking her from that dark place Light
shone brightly but she saw the smile A
familiar smile from her dad who she hadn’t seen in a while She
suffered during the earthquake but also for years past Thank
God Almighty, she exclaimed, I’m Free At Last |
