Good and well taken just the way you wrote it. I also took away the added metaphor that perhaps a flood is a symbol for all the things we lose in life when we stray away from God. And, where is the ark, our rescue, when we get done shooting ourself in the foot? I'm sure the poor souls with Katrina felt like it was the end. Liked the work. By the way, we'd like some rain and heat relief here...Jerry
Even thru the bad you have a keen wit Karla. I saw this on a website yesterday. An amatuer built the Arc and a band of educated engineers built the titanic. See there, It's the "it figures" syndrome! Loved the poem too!

Tragedies will happen, it happened to Christ.
Suffering has no respect of persons.
We must be ready at all times.
Because we never know which day is our last.
It is appointed to man to die once but God
has an everlasting ark called Heaven.
No flood will ever reach it’s gates.
I still cringe at the images shown on television, kids floating in laundry baskets, men, women and children dying, becoming numbers, that was one scary Hurricane but I guess they all are

Apparently Hawaii is getting hammered now with an earthquake, a coupla days ago, thrown in for good measure. I also read this morning that another tropical storm is forming in the Gulf. Looks like its time again to batten down the hatches.

The ark dear Karla is where it has always been inthe hearts and minds of those who refuse to give up. This is one beautiful write and as Ed said to Holly's comment. Ditto! PLB&G for caring and sharing. <Mikii>

I'm building it.... Only thing is, I need every type of woman two by two... Still cats n dogs here... Ed can have the animals, I'll do the cruise...
Karla, after reading many poems of the horror of Katrina--I can only say that the great Ark that was needed came in the form of the inner strength of those folks who survived the terrible flood that turned their lives into heartache. More power to them for their anger, rebellion, forward spirit and perserverence toward overcoming the opposition of a great disaster. God bless.
Heartwrenching questions to be asking in a predicament like Katrina; but this is what exactly what many--too many--people went through when Katrina struck. Sad; may we never forget!!

It was indeed sad and many were desparate when the storm hit. Great poem. Victor
Have Noah's phone number, called, but found the line busy everytime.
We should start to build one ourselves before we need start swimming in a hurry.

I can certainly understand your question, 'Where is an ark when you need one?' Karla, you have survived much and so have many others. Your a voice for those who cannot speak. Write on dear friend! Blessings, Holly
Those poor souls could have used a few Arks in those heartbreaking days. And we may all need an Ark one day soon if the Polar Ice Caps keep melting away.
The fortunate inherit riches, prestige, positive notoriety. Those not so lucky bear legacies filled with poverty, infamy or, worse yet, the unhinged insanity and murderous urges of their ancestors.
Did you ever wonder what happened after the Archangel Michael through the demons out of heaven? Let one of them guide you through the origin of evil in the world.
