Tsunami

I got some bad news from my granddaughter today That one of her friends who had moved to JAPAN With her family- “died in that tsunami.” She was only ten years of age And would always speak with my Grand daughter on her face book page. Now this young life has been taken away And for her and all lives lost, we do pray. First they had an earthquake - one of the Strongest ever recorded at 9.0 on the scale Which created the tsunami with over thirty foot waves, sending possibly thousands To an early watery grave. it seems like with each disaster There is a miracle after. A four month old baby was found alive They’re still trying to figure out How it survived. Then a seventy year old lady Somehow came thru How did she make it? What did she do? They also found a man in a crushed House eight days later. Now you tell me - what can be greater! they are finding many more alive But in the process, so many have died. So for these miracles that we now see They Will go into the pages of history. How many more signs must be shown Before we open our eyes to what humanity Is doing and to what god created. Must everything we know become devastated. So to my granddaughters friend JENNIFER VEGA You have gone to meet our maker. But as so many who have gone before You’ll be there to open our door. You’ll be there with a grin Ready to welcome us in. But why has mankind allowed us To get to a point of no return With so many screaming, and their Voices can’t be heard. I guess mankind will never learn And in our hearts these tragedies Will forever burn.
