Haiku for Pakistan: My Lambs Are Gone

Wolves came in the night.
My precious lambs are not found.
My heart is broken.

It's strange how concerns can change in a second.  The last thought on my mind before sleeping was to not forget my daughter's birthday cake in the morning.  I awoke to the devastating story of the tragedy in Pakistan.  I feel connected to these people though I'm on the other side of the world.  I am Christian and I have children like them.  They are most precious to me above anything on earth.  If I lost a child, a piece of me would be gone forever and I would have to go on through life less whole.  I am praying for comfort to fill the hearts of those mourning on this most sacred day.
