Tribute To Japan

I see the pain in their eyes
the sorrow for lives lost
watching a country reconstruct from devastation
while still searching for life
not from the ruins, but from within
picking up the pieces
day after day
in unison
working bodies
thinking how to grow again
while keeping those lost and behind death's door in spirit
