The day started with anticipation
People came from across the nation
Dreams and hope to win the race
Fame from getting that first place

A deafening blast filled the air
Screams where heard everywhere
Dropped bags, scrambling people
Confusion came with constant babble

Catastrophe completely unseen
Bodies carried from the scene
Tears rolled from every eye
Prayers lifted to the sky

Unsure and scared we may be
But trust in God the Almighty
For though we cannot see the light
In His arms, they are all right

Continue to hope and to pray
God is here with us today
For He has never left our side
And in His comfort, we must abide.
