To anyone who is affected in one way or another by the recent tsumami...

Those happy memories of loved ones,
now but a whisper in a mind.

Songs of joy and laughter,
No longer fill the air.

Why did things like this happen?
We never understood.

To all those whose loved ones were lost,
I hope that you will love.

No doubt it's easier said than done,
And what could love actually do?

Love can't save a dying friend
Or bring one back from the dead.

Love can't bring back the past
Or someone who is forever lost.

So what is the purpose of love in our lives?
It is to bring everyone together.

It is to celebrate their lives instead of mourn,
It is to hold what we have closer.

It is to continue to care and share,
The memories of the ones who were lost.

It is to continue to strive and fight on,
For those who still need you.

It is to ensure and to be certain,
That those who were lost,

Never left totally,
As their testimonies and memories,

May continue to live as brightly,
In all of your hearts.

Dedicated specially to all who have lost in the wake of the earthquakes and tsunamis. May all those who are affected be richly blessed and may they recover as quickly as possible from this ordeal. God bless...
