I wrote this when Katrina hit when a lot of my online friends were in trouble and when the levies broke.
My Pain.....
Even though I am so far away.
There is a pain in my heart that wants to stay.
People say its the wrath of God
God will protect us and save us from this.
But the clouds opened up and poured down.
Upon the earth the water turned lives into a frown.
There are tears
There is sadness,
Is there hope? Where is our home?
People are crying,
But our family is together!
Will this not erase the pain and the madness?
I want to wrap my arms around the world
And give everyone a great big hug
And tell them everything is going to be okay.
My tears flow like everyone's does
When they turn on the television and see,
The wrath, the heartache and the pain.
Its stuck deep inside and only shows
When I see a child or mother
Crying, what did we do? How could this happen
My children wont awake?
I had to write this to remember
The day the water ran deep
And covered a city 80% deep
Thousands of cities and towns effected
The storm ran amuck it just wanted to leap.
A nightmare awakes you and its not a dream.
I have to remember its called reality.
When life gives you lemons.
Make lemonade!!
There is a positive to this short rambling,
Peace of mind that the world will recover,
But they will never forget
the day the rain poured down.
