A Heartfelt Call for Action

The Los Angeles fires have blazed a path in our hearts…

The City of Angels is
dodging Hell’s flames.
This inferno has singed
fleeing wings.
Angelinos are weary
of winds from the east
and the smoke that makes
weeping eyes sting.

In the crises of others,
in the losses they face,
we are given a chance to respond
to the pain and the heartache,
to the grief and despair
and the loss of rare treasures now gone.

Midst the ash and the embers,
So Cal looks for help
from its neighboring states far and wide.
Are you willing to give?
Are you willing to serve?
Let the love in your heart be your guide.
