I wrote this in reflect of Hurricane Katrina. |
Wind howling loud and strong Rain pounding hard and long CRASH!!!!!! What was that? You asked yourself. That was life coming to a dead stop, as the wall of water swallows, everything and everyone in one gulp. As you crawl in the dark searching for a way out... You start to fear that there is nothing left for you to hold dear And help is neither far or near The thoughts of your family gone in an instant Praying that you will find them eventually From room to room In the darkest of nights Searching for those small hands you once held so tight Crying for help for anyone to hearyour plea You begin to fall to your knees and pray. You pray for all those that are sick and dying And those that have lost the ones dear to their heart But most of all the children that are lost and without families You begin to stand and the warmth begins to fill your heart As you feel the small and fragile fingers in your hand Fear and joy fill your eyes with tears And they begin to fall down your smudged face As you look upward and see a smiling face peering down upon you You begin to smile for the first time in days Knowing the things will be all right now... that you can see the light. |
