| Tsunami Aftermath Countries around us, destroyed, by natural phenomena Like the Indian Ocean Tsunami, which have happened before Along coastal shore lines of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans Unexpectedly leaving destruction, in their wake Taking so many lives - and so many more people still missing As a result of this devastating occurrence of December 26, 2004 Leaving a feeling of helplessness amongst those who survived Still searching for loved ones in the aftermath, never forgetting What has happened to them, and all others who were affected By the Tsunami waves that took their families, homes, livelihoods - And so many children homeless, forlorn, feeling hopeless and alone Looking through age old eyes, not understanding what has happened. Tugging at one's heart, hearing the sound of their internal Cries and anguish kept inside, not yet released to those around them In the Red Cross and World Vision shelters providing for their care, Giving them surrogate love, food, clothing. For this, we bless them all Also for the good deeds done, helping these people in the aftermath From private sectors, businesses, musicians, governments, schools - And never forget, those selfless children who collected on their own To help towards the aid of the victims of the Tsunami aftermath. |
