Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Katrina Katrina what will we see The catastrophic damage you possess My prayers are continual for all in your path Dear Lord grasp those put through this test

Each moment goes by as they flee for their lives Taking all of their loved ones to safety Your winds extend with vicious bands Oh Lord help them through this travesty

Know sweet souls that we pray for you Across our nation in prayer we unite Katrina a name on many in prayer God grant us the will for this fight

Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons Families scurry for safety and security Grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins God please guide them with Your purity

If they must go, gently take them in Your arms Please Lord don't let them suffer undo pain They are our friends and relatives With them numerous angels you'll gain

I pray Dear Lord with all of my heart Katrina please calm down Lord please watch over all in her path As Katrina touches ground
