All it takes is a moment

Just a fleeting moment. A whisper in the wind.
Somewhere, a mother kisses her child and tucks him into bed.
Somewhere, the sun is rising, and a city is coming to life.
Somewhere, the atlas shrugs, the earth replies,
And in a fleeting moment, in a whisper of a wind,
An entire people is left bereft.

Any of these moments could be any of us.
And I hope, when that moment comes for me,
Someone luckier will care enough to stop and help.

Haiti needs your help now.

I love this post! It's so poetic. My favorite line is "And in a fleeting moment, in a whisper of a wind,"
Love it love it love it! What was your inspiration
