THE HOPELESS FATHER

Before, we are a happy family

But it was all lost, because of the tsunami

I thought it was just a small tragedy

But I was wrong, because it almost killed half of the community

During the earthquake and tsunami

I tried my best to keep my family in safety

I even sacrifice my own life

Just to protect them to make them survive

I ran to the kitchen to get my wife’s medicine

But I make sure that they are secured where I put them

But when I was about to go out

Our ceiling was collapsed and totally breaks out

Fortunately, I survive from the tsunami event

But sad to say, my family didn’t

I scream just to call their names

But no one answered me except from my fellow friends

After two days, I decided to find them again

I never let my hope to be erased until the end

Eventhough, many people would say “they are gone”

But I don’t want to quit, maybe I could find even one.

Then suddenly I saw a child

It reminds me of my family, hoping them to be alive

But what will I do if I saw them died?

Maybe I just sit down and cry for their lost lives.
