Dreams never end    

Huang Jianfa

On a sunny Saturday of the 8^th day

In the 2005^th year

When people were bathed in the warm sunshine of coming autumn

Tipping the sweet of life with kids around

The ground was moving fiercely in our neighbor

Within seconds, the houses where the dreams lie turn into a hell

“Mum and dad, where are you?” cried the kids sitting helpless

“Can we play run and hide, Ali?” shouted the boys

When the sun rises and sets as usual

Life is becoming much different

Let’s pray for our children and our future:

Dreams shattered but could be pieced together

Homeland broken but could be rebuilt

We were never as strong and united as today

Our dreams shall never fade away
