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
Absolutely powerful prayer, moreso than any storm.
blessin's to all, especially in the wake of Hurricane Rita.
May all of this bring people together.
blessin's Sis. Tina,
cynth'ya

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.
Tina, you have covered it all so well and with such heartfelt emotion and deep compassionate feelings!Well done!

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.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
blessin's to all, especially in the wake of Hurricane Rita.
May all of this bring people together.
