R! Se Up Poem by tanvi damle

R! Se Up

Rating: 3.5


You lost your loved ones in the sand and rubble,
and you struggle to accept it,
the pain almost unbearable.
I won't lie and say i understand,
but I will be there with you holding your hand.
We will pray together,
we will fight this together,
I will do whatever I can to make it a little better.
When you can't seem to sleep at night,
I'll be there giving you hope,
holding your hand tight.
Hold on, we shall make it through,
be strong, I'm right here with you.
I'll do whatever it takes
to bring the lost smile back on your face,
don't give up, things will fall into place.
We won't give up,
we shall get back on our feet.
I'll be there with you
every second, every minute.
We shall take it one day at a time
the pain will be gone
and soon shall the sun shine.

-Dedicated to all the people of Haiti

'We shall get back on our feet' This is a positive line meaning don't just die, get back on your feet and fight back. I have also countrymen who died in the tragedy, four of them were UN peace keeper and two were overseas workers who worked in a supermarket. I prayed for their souls, they were good men and women and I considered them heroes. I prayed also for the earthquake victims the poor and impoverish Haitians. Prayers are all that I could afford. Anyway Tanvi, this piece is a lovely dedication to the people of Haiti. Thanks for sharing.

A fine poem of hope and assurance. An ordinary gal becomes an extraordinary poetess. Really tragic and heart touching.Ur fellow feeling as a poet is commendable. U know how to extend personal love to people of a distressed land. Ur use of imagery and rhythm is superb dear. The very title shows ur attitude to the distressed people. A poet's silent sympathy is always an important ingredient for a good poem. Bravo! u have the courage to stand by the side of the distressed people. In 'Africa' Tagore stood by the side of the distressed people....Carry on Tanvi...we are with you
