Collection

I see your sadness, your grief and pain, Your lives destroyed by the wind and rain

Mother Nature dealt a heavy blow The levees failed and the water rose

No where to run or to hide A city in ruins, many have died

The shock of uncertainty and disbelief Hunger and thirst with no relief

The heat takes a toll and all we can see Are your tears and fears across the T.V.

Many heroes rush in from the sky To rescue people trapped inside

Feeling helpless, there is nothing we can do But to pray to God that they will rescue you

Tens of thousands with nowhere to go Trapped in this city where the water flowed

Days pass with no relief in sight No food or drink for days and nights

Eyes filled with tears, faces express such fear Destruction and devastation is everywhere

This is no dream; horror is before our eyes Hunger, thirst, pain and cries!

The life of a city has been drowned by water A frantic father searches for his daughter

Frightened children cling to their mothers Sisters forever separated from their brothers

So many lives destroyed, hundreds are lost A human tragedy, a tremendous cost

After many days help finally arrives Many good loving people rush in to save lives

Five days of living hell that felt like years Endless sorrow and lasting fears So many eyes dripping with tears
