Analysis of the encounter blast
the blast was loud and fast.
it happened in a flash.
we all was dead at last.
then i saw him, from the distance.
i believed .all i needed to do,. was to just a touch of his hem .
and i would be home.
but for years i have been turned by those around me.
so i hid myself in the crowd.
hiding my shaime.
as i pass threw this light of mercy.
my faith was pure.
he stop and called me son ,it good your home.
