"Shake Shake Earth"

Playing and giggling, such kid brings joy;
Singing and jumping, as she holds her toy;
Glanced at me and spoke, "Shake shake earth"
She repeats and repeats, but I totally heard.

What could it be, why will it be?
Just words with words, or a sign maybe;
Nothing confirms and no news conforms,
Made me breathe easily, calmed my storm.

While 'shake shake earth' words I wonder,
I feel this has something to ponder;
May it be just words or not,
Praying for the protection I could grasp.

At any time, any place, we don't know
we wouldn't, we can't, we'd go;
The almighty can guide and save us,
Don't cease praying, time's just so fast.
