THE PAIN OF HEARTACHE ERE RETURNS
Raymond J Warren
Brisbane April 2009
Did you feel the earth tremble
In the night, as we all slept.
Did you hear the bells ringing
As the hills all heaved and leapt.
Oh God is this our punishment,
Have we all done something wrong?
Why has our world come to an end,
Will this pain continue long?
Can you see the father digging,
His fingers bloodied and torn
Searching for his little girl,
He was there the day she was born.
Saviors are now everywhere,
Their hearts are open wide.
And tears fall in loving care,
For the pain they feel inside.
Millennium have come and gone.
And the earth has moved before.
But the pain of heartache ere returns,
And the mothers cry once more.
