Over a year has gone by
She was on that train
She heard the blast
But she was riveted to her seat
She could neither shout nor move
She was choking
Like she had swallowed her own tongue
A feeling of numbness had gripped her
Everything went blank she later said
When she woke up in a hospital bed
Anxious doctors were peering into her eyes
To look for some signs of consciousness
She slowly stared back at them
She still could not speak
Then the tears flowed freely
And only her mother's voice could be heard
'She's alive, thank God she's alive ' she cried
This is the miraculous story
Of Anita -my dear friend
I too whispered a silent prayer
To thank God for having saved her
From the terrorist's master-minded disaster.
There are always little miracles to give us hope, it seems. (smile)
