Miatianna

1  Miatianna                                           2  Miatianna                            
    Stands alone in the rubble                       Outside, standing in the mud                     
     Looking for MaMa                                   Crying for Daddy              
                                  3  Maitianna
                                      Sorrounded by disaster
                                      Where is brother, Juan

4  An orphan, at six                                  5  How will she survive?
    Her tummy growls from hunger                Let us Pray to the Most High
    Her Throat parched from thirst                 A Prayer is answered
                                                            
                                     6  Miatianna
                                         Moving to America
                                         Knowing Love again

                               Inspired by the Haitian Earthquake
                               Dedicated to all the Haitian Nation

Robert A. Dufresne Date: 1/31/2010 5:43:00 PM Your Senryus are like a film flickering in my mind of a real time horrific, tragic silent movie. I'll turn the sound on later. This is all I can fathom for now. God have mercy on them and theirs. . Excellent reporting. -Robert Login to Reply
