So much loss incomprehensible
Feelings of sadness beyond belief
As we sit and watch in silence
The world is plunged into grief

The wave came without warning
As the balmy breezes blew
Mother Nature's voice was heard
But there was nothing they could do

Devastation within minutes
Bodies swept out to sea
Children separated from their parents
Some clung desperately to a tree

In the aftermath of horror
Screams were heard far and wide
The massive damage was revealed
With the receding of the tide

The world must now unite
As we all join hands and pray
And remember those lives lost
On that unforgettable day

"We are all angels with only one wing....
we can fly only by embracing each other"

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Yes, we must.  And I did enjoy reading these
words.  Well said.
