Our Condolences

Our people in Barbados express great sympathy

Unfeigned compassion for this terrible tragedy

Regretting that your country should have any sufferers

China just recently became our international brothers

Our hearts go out to those friends and families

No planning can prepare us for such catastrophes

Deepest sympathy for your lost and hope you will

One day again rise up with dignity rebuild

Like you had in adversity many years before

Earthquakes took life and infrastructure to rip your core

Now time has repeated this brutal destiny

Chengdu and lands around it seemed lost cruelly

Earthquakes may steal lives and infrastructure away

Survivors grow stronger to rebuild another day
