“I said to you,
"Hold my hand.
Nothing bad will happen."
These are only words.
A father's tricks,
It slays your father,
your faith in him.
Because all I can think tonight is
how deep the sea,
and how vast, how indifferent.
How powerless I am to protect you from it.
All I can do is pray.”
―
Khaled Hosseini,
Sea Prayer
