Her soul ached with the pain of love
She and her boyfriend were at suspense
They were wondering when it will happen
Their marriage ceremony was drawing closer

World weather update announced the event
It pumped information back and forth
It warned of Katrina's devastation

But some residents ignored the signals
They underestimated the approaching threat
Katrina's ferocious build-up had intensified
The two lovers finally met at New Orleans

The sea buried kisses on Mississippi
The waters gushed in to sing and dance
They became instantly an inseparable mix
They wreaked havoc on people's lives

While in honey moon sister Rita arrived
It sent an evil present to the new couple
It toured around the state of Texas
Houston received a light touch
Galveston suffered from harsh blows

My sympathy goes to victims in all cities
It goes to bereaved families who lost loved ones
It goes to pets of every kind and type
Hope Mother Nature will show mercy to Mankind
