She sits on the ground
surrounded by debris,
her land torn apart
by a tsunami.

She lost everything
her home and family,
she cries so many tears
with every heart beat.

I can feel her pain
as I look into her eyes,
but only God knows
the lonliness she feels inside.

Tears of a survivor
they stream down her face,
I wish I could
help her out, of that shattered place.
