Lessons Learned From an Earthquake

Remembering the Quake

The quake had brought out the best in us.

Neighbor helping neighbor. In God we trust.

So much kindness and all this good feeling

Had warmed up my heart and sent my head reeling.

I said, “People are nice” as I got on the freeway.

I moved over a lane to give a guy leeway.

My faith was restored. No more would I scoff

When he gave me the finger and cut me right off!
