Shaken Earth in Padang

Padang, now a city scarred,
Yet in its people, strength unmarred.
For from the ruins, they shall rise,
With courage found in tear-filled eyes.

Amen, we pray for healing's grace,
For West Sumatra, this sacred place.
May peace and solace gently flow,
To mend what nature's fury laid low.
