Coming home

Context: Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17)

I was looking forward to reaching home,

As I was eager to see your smiling faces,

Also, to share the moments when you would unwrap your presents,

However, only destiny could have known about the tragic turn of events.

Met so many happy people, kids and the elderly, before boarding the flight and during the journey,

What had they done to deserve this?

298 lives were lost in one cruel moment,

Hope justice is delivered sooner than later to the dear ones whose hearts did get broken.

I am sorry we could not meet one last time,

Else, I would have liked to say good bye the way we did always,

I hope you can all continue your journey in life positively without me,

As having tears in all your eyes is not what I wanted to see.
