In the midst of chaos
And pain
There is hope
Two lovers find each other
A mother hugs her daughter
In the midst of chaos
And pain
There is love
Unchallenged in life or death
A father, a mother, a friend, a stranger
A total stranger protecting the young ones
Because
In the midst of chaos
And pain
There is life to celebrate
Our humanity and kindness
In the mist of chaos
There is a clarity
Of living.
