2004 Tsunami Child

I was just a small child, though from a very poor family, I had two brothers and a sister, but we did live happily My father was a fisherman, catching fish every day, to feed his family best he could, he knew no other way We lived in a village, one day disaster struck, 'twas in Thailand in Phuket, the tsunami came, we had no luck My whole family was wiped out, the only one left was I, all my friends were also lost, and all I could do was cry I wished that I had also died, then all of us would still be together, but why was god so uncaring, why was I left to suffer?
