Our nation is torn but still stands strong!


Poem Artwork

Waking up this morning
Feeling so very blessed
Lord, How could you leave
such a awful mess

Watching video 
destruction everywhere
My heart goes out
to our friends and family
over there
Tears well up with in my soul
dripping down my face
My God, What do they do
Look at all they faced

Loved ones still missing
the searches go on
must look for the living
no time for the dead
Oh my sweet Jesus
So much lays ahead

Rescue workers
working day and night
to save these people
from such a terrible plight
Were to begin
so many in need
no food or water
no homes to lay their heads
But, "I'm alive!"
One woman said

Let us join together
in support and prayer
Let them know
how much we care
Send all that we can
and even more
to this place
where we see land no more
flooding and destruction
is beyond belief
so many faces
with pain and tears
trying to come to terms
with all their fear

Dear God in heaven
send us your peace
Let us help others now
get back on their feet
Let us not groan
at the prices we see
but rather let us
count our blessings
and help all those
in need

Let us band together
UNITED WE STAND
reaching out a helping hand
Thank you Lord
for being there
and hearing each and every prayer

We may not understand
why such a thing can be
all this pain and utter misery
but we do know Lord
upon YOU we can trust
to help us get through
all this we must

Thank you Jesus
you've heard our prayers
our hearts go out
to your children everywhere

Poet, your well-crafted words caress the weary souls of those who are fortunate enough to read them and they also ignite one to find the inner strength to seek and find solace from witnessing such utter devastation and destruction. This striking plea should assure you that you’re not alone in reaching out in your efforts to console our brothers and sisters who have lost everything caused by this horrific storm. I also agree with Poet George Carroll’s assessment. Thank you for sharing. Take good care and be well.

The Governor of Louisana should be taken to task for her delay in sending 2000 National Guard Troops into New Orleans at the start of the storm. And the head of Home Land Security should be removed from his job for his assessment of what was happening at the Super Dome.. If you can here his remarks it is astounding that this man who must not watch TV could paint a picture that was not related to what was going on there. He should be fired.
