chance

"my son, there is nothing i can give,
but the chance that you may live.
i pray we meet again." -River Lullaby/ Prince of Egypt

this line has been in my head for days now.

in the movie, this was sang by Jochebed, the mother of Moses, as she was letting the papyrus basket flow on the river Nile with baby Moses inside.

hoping this act would save him from the decree of the Pharaoh to kill all newly-born males,

and giving Moses a chance to live.

i do not have a child, but the feeling of wanting a child to have a CHANCE to live,

and all the odds seems against it, this maybe what is common between me and Jochebed.

i should not be even writing about this but...

there are no words that can really explain it all.

well, i can't really say anything in great detail.

even in my tweet, it is obvious that i am desperate...

"i am very afraid of what will happen. God! Kami-sama! please have mercy! despite their cruel decision. i pray for the soul of the child. +"
