The first thing I saw was the radiant sunrise
The beams so gloriously bright
In a dazed dream state, I sat back to enjoy the show
and let this adventure take me wherever I was to go
To meet a girl who was nine and
who fought to ease the continuous shaking
From When three years ago the earth was quaking
and she couldn't make it stop
She cried out for her mom
Then her mom had saved her, but not herself
When her girl went to find help
She knew her mom was gone
She sat on the debris-covered lawn
and hugged herself so tight
Knowing that this was not right
She became angry that her mom had left
(which) Left her with all the chores and stress
of taking care of a family on her own
I saw her, only 9 years old
She was shaken with sad
Feeling like with her mom, she lost all she had
Her eyes cried out to me and asked for help
And I was shocked at what I felt
Nothing, nothing I could say
And I turned away
