Sango's Poem

I walked alone in a land of forgotten memories,

Shedding tears that turned to ice on my frozen cheeks.

Everyone I knew had passed into another world—

A world of either heaven or hell.

My family was killed, my village slaughtered.

I had no one to look to, no one to talk to, no one to hope for.

Now I'm fighting for the sake of Kohaku,

The brother I found alive.

I've got something to live for, something to dream about.

I've got a group of friends closer than family,

And I've got family that needs me…
