Analysis of Tsunami

By Susy Taylor  09/18/05

One moment, all was calm and clear,              
With sounds of laughing children near.
The ocean's waves caressed the shore,
While overhead the seagulls soared.

A pair of lovers, hand-in-hand,
Were planting footprints in the sand.
And out at sea, their silhouettes
Betrayed the men who worked their nets.

So quiet and serene the sky~
No warning of the tears we'd cry.
Those laughing children, once so near,
Would suddenly just disappear;

For, as their parents watched them play,
The ocean swept them all away.
And what was once a thriving place
Just disappeared without a trace.

The ocean washed away the prints
Of all those years of innocence.
Those laughing children play no more
Upon that empty, barren shore.

But, at a time not far ahead,
Our God will call out to the dead;
Then, up they'll rise, for all to see
Jehovah's stronger than the sea!
