Australia has had some terrible disasters in the past 6 months and it seems like the same people get hit over and over again. Yet they bounce right back and just get on with the business of living.

Our town was one that suffered a great deal of damage, and a few years ago, my aunt and uncle died in tornadoes after moving several states over to take care of my grandfather. Why? Seems random, senseless, and beyond unfair, but I always think of the verse that says, "the rain falls on the just and unjust" (I think it's in Matthew). For some questions, there are no answers. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. This was a beautiful poem, and I think it's okay to ask why?
