A Formidable Sea of Debris and Woe,
A Melancholy Scene that Seems to Grow,
A Torturous Tide that Rages on and on,
A Prevalent Force that Cannot be Undone.

It Vexes Us, this Force so Strong,
It Emanates a Pain that Lasts so Long,
A Tsunami of Tears that Falls like Rain,
A Gesture of Grief that Causes Pain.

And yet, despite this Deluge of Despair,
We Plunge Ahead with Courage and Care,
For Hope Still Shines, a Radiant Ray,
Guiding Us Through this Dark and Stormy Day.
