Flowers in the Water

Photo by Jan Messersmith
The water took everything away...your possessions, your work, your street, your town, your city, your friends, your family...your life. It is a sad, sad time. There are really no words enough to describe it. Its purpose or redeeming value is hard to find. I pray that you manage to hold on to hope.

Some years ago i have been there to Tacloban and made my way down south of your city, grateful to have stored in my memory of your city images of warmth, love, simplicity, and charm. I will hold on to that for you. 

And if i have the chance to be back there -- i will pay my respects... with flowers in the water.
