When Disaster Strikes

When someone dear to us is dead and gone;
When something happens least unexpected;
When things occur giving us rude a shock,
Our heart is troubled, mind is uneasy

Some scary things may happen suddenly;
Some frightening facts may catch us on wrong feet;
Some eerie moments make earth worse than hell –
Yet, we must keep our cool and sanity!

Our life on earth is full of ‘ups and downs’;
Our temperament must take things as they come;
But anger can’t console an anguished heart;
And hatred only sows seeds of discord!

When strikes disaster, unity is prime;
Love of brethren must dwell in every heart;
Render your mite to mitigate losses;
What happened to others now, can to us!
