| The Great Hanshin
Earthquake Orphans |
A Black Rainbow
I drew a picture at the orphan's summer camp in Kobe,
Japan.
I drew it with beautiful colors.
I drew with colors of blue and yellow.
I drew noon-time and painted it black.
I remember at night my dad who saved me from the Great
Hanshin earthquake.
I have nightmares often.
My older sister always supports me emotionally.
At school, other kids often tease me and punch me.
However, I like playing in the playground.
I do not like to study at school but I do my homework
well.
I would like my dad to be well in heaven.
(Boy, K.A, 10 yrs old, lost his father and siblings to
the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995)

To My Dad in Heaven
Dad! I loved you very much.
I wanted to play baseball with my dad but he died.
I want to meet my dad again.
When I look at my dad's picture I cry.
But I want to see my dad.
I want to call him "Dad".
But I can not.
"Where are you, Dad?"
Hug me again.
Wait till I go to your place.
Play with me again, Dad.
Dad!
Study with me.
Teach me to study.
Dad!
Why did you leave my three family members?
I was thinking that you were on a business trip.
Wait till I go to your place.
Dad!
Call out my name "Minoru" again.
I call you "Dad" and then I say "yes".
I feel really sad because my dad is not here.
(Boy, M.N, 10 yrs, lost his father to traffic accident
when he was 10)
