Dear all,

You may all heared about earthquack in central China on 12 May 2008,� many Chinese children died, I believe that the following�poem will move all human beings in the world.� If you are willing to help and please do, your help will make difference of those mother who lost their child. I want to thank the writer of the poem from bottom of my heart. Thanks also�a freind 15 years daughter who�translated the poem from Chinese�into English.�

Grab My Hand, My Child

 in Memory of All the Children Died in the Sichuan Earthquake

Grab my hand, my sweetheart
The road to heaven is so dark
Mum is afraid that you may
Stumble or fall along the way
Please hold my hand tight
Let mum walk by your side

I am so scared, Mamma
The road to heaven is so dark
The school's rubble has blocked out the light
I can't reach your hand or say good night

To God you go, my sweetheart
You will be carefree on the path
No more endless homework to do
No more pressure put on you
Just remember how I sent you
off to school this morning and smiled
Now I promise to collect you
from school every day, my child

Mum, please don't be worried
Though the road to heaven is a bit crowded
With so many classmates around
We can feel safe and sound
With so many mums welcoming us to the sky
We say to each other "Don't cry"

Anyone's mum is also our mum
Anyone's child is also these mums' child
Since you can no longer kiss me good night
Give your love to children who've survived

Mum, do not cry for me
Your tears will not help, you see
On my road up to the Sky
I'll feel you and Dad nearby
I will remember, Mum
What you and Dad look like
Mum, keep our promise
We'll meet in the next life
