Japenese Tsunami

The world has been watching, waiting, and praying for Japan ever since a massive 8.9 earthquake hit Friday, triggering a deadly tsunami, which according to news reports from the Japanese media reported that there are at least 6,000 people either dead or missing.
Friday's 9.0-magnitude earthquake has also left millions with little food or shelter, as temperatures drop to near-freezing levels overnight. Hospitals are overwhelmed with the injured and running out of medicine and supplies and authorities were also running out of coffins to bury the dead.
It is a devastating time for those who are suffering with loved ones consoling each other throughout this devastated country.
At times like this, Death’s gift is hard to accept for it is cloaked in darkness, the journey for the victims and surviviors is lonely, frightening and in some cases without hope. We wish to take this time to ask that God & the Angels to watch over and help heal the country's victims, by comforting them with their love and guiding them back into the light during this, their journey of grief. 
Love, light & angel blessings

BECAUSE I could not stop for Death--
He kindly stopped for me--
The Carriage held but just Ourselves--
And Immortality.

We slowly drove--He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labour and my leisure too,
For His Civility--

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess--in the Ring--
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain--
We passed the Setting Sun--

Or rather--He passed Us--
The Dews drew quivering and chill--
For only Gossamer, my Gown--
My Tippet--only Tulle--

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground--
The Roof was scarcely visible--
The Cornice--in the Ground--

Since then--'tis Centuries--and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses Heads
Were toward Eternity--

Emily Dickinson
