Rest in Peace
A tribute to the tsunami victims.

They took me away
Terrified- I'm all alone
Is it the end yet?
o-o-o
I see light ahead
Running fast -I stop-dead end
This was all a trick!
o-o-o
I hear loud voices
Calling, searching-wait I'm here!
Don't leave me, please don't.
o-o-o
My loved ones -they cry
Touching them, I bid farewell
For now I will rest.

The tsunami disaster hit South Asia on 26 December 2004. Many innocent lives were lost. And many are still missing. On 3 January 2005, the death toll surpasses 130,000. The highest number is in Bandar Aceh in Indonesia. Let us all pray for them. Think about the men, women and children who need care and support. Think about those who have not eaten or drank anything in days. Some of them even lost their homes and have no where else to go. May the missing ones be found and be reunited with their families. And may the ones who left the world rest in peace.
