Red roses for the Hong Kong Nationals hostage taking Incident

I didn't realize the gravity of the hostage -taking incident yesterday until I watched the news a while ago.

It is definitely weakening in more ways than one.

Its a shame not to be informed,

multiply that by a thousand (or more): then you'll get the price and agony 

of being informed, well, actually, not even close.

I'm not a fan of red roses, or flowers for that matter,

but I unexpectedly got some tonight.

May these things bring a bit of cheer to everyone,

as it did me.

Because

No matter how bad I feel,

All I can give is a simple smile...

always believing that we'll eventually get by.
