~ In Memory Of The Tsunami Tragedy ~

All was quiet, all was peaceful,
Then from the depths of the earth
Deep down in the ocean, an earthquake came to destroy
The men, women, children
And homes with a powerful force.

When I think of the tears and the heartbreak
The terror, the memory of Tsunami fear
My heart bleeds, they need comfort near,
I have prayed to The Lord, who knows all things
I feel their loss and the pain that it brings,
I hope our President, can urge all to help in some way
So those suffering from the Tsunami
Will know a better day.

I saw the photos, and will never forget the grief
I saw on the faces, the feeling of broken defeat,
I lift my heart up in prayer for all I have seen
In memory of the Tsunami tragedy,
I hope the earthquake will fade in their minds
To begin a future of better times.
