An old verse written on December 26, 2013 to be precise. It was the ninth year commemoration of Tsunami victims. I was seated at my computer at work, staring at the replaying images on the TV. Melancholic music was playing in the background as flashbacks of the disaster flashed upon the screen—vivid and bright—reminding me of what a tragedy it had been. This is not my story, but I think many out there will be able to relate to this.
It has been nine years,
It has been nine years,
Since I last went to the beach,
Since I last held myself
to the sea breeze,
It has been nine years,
Since I walked along the sandy shores,
Holding his hand,
Whispering to each other,
It has been nine years,
Since I made sand castles,
And indulged in the bliss,
Of my son's innocent smile,
It has been nine years,
Since the tidal wave
Stole my life,
On a bright sunny morning.
