Words and Thoughts of those affected 
Directly and Indirectly


Just Another Day

Picture
Debbie & Tammy thank you for the beautiful image
I went to work this morning – it was just another day
Never dreaming for one moment of the horrors we would face
12.51 will now be etched forever in our minds
The day the Garden City fell – Mother Nature crossed the line
The panic and the shock would hit each and everyone
From Bluff up to Kaitaia – no respite for anyone
The phone lines jammed as many calls each one of us would make
To our loved ones down in Christchurch - we just prayed we weren’t too late
The cameras started rolling we could not believe the sights
The screams, the cries, the panicked look in everybody’s eyes
The twisted metal girders of the buildings that fell down
The rubble, dust and mud pools forming all around the town
Those of us who were not there still shed our tears the same
For people trapped and dying though we did not know their names
New Zealand’s darkest day had come and together we must stand
To give all that we have to try and help our fellow man
The Kiwi way it will prevail – we will stand proud and strong
As our nation comes together, Christchurch will live on
We will rebuild, we will stand up and shake our fists up to the sky
You may have knocked us down a while – but we’ll get up and fight
To everyone that’s lost someone our hearts they bleed as one
Our thanks go to the rescuers – to each and every one
To the unsung heroes on the street who didn’t stop to think
Who put themselves in danger helping others from the brink
To the police force and the army and the student volunteers
To the USAR teams from near and far who kindly share our tears
After all, that’s what we are – it is the Kiwi way!
                 We will go on, we will prevail to live another day                                                                        
                                                                                                         Anon
