Ever silent flow the waters
as they feast upon the land
showing us it doesn't matter
if they choose to take command
I watch the waters as they rise
no longer gaping with surprise
I see them coming ever nearer
trying to stem the tides of fear
I do not want to leave my home
there is no place I wish to roam
but the water now past my knees
is no time for nerves to freeze
Dare I try to risk standing fast
let the water eat me for breakfast
I think that as ny eyes grow dim
my tears will have a place to swim
Alas, I'm aware safety is near
saved with just the clothes I wear
everything I own, now under water
just call me Davy Jones daughter

note: For Karen,this is not about me, I live in sunny California where I seldom see rain let alone a flood;-)

I feel for those and their unknowing pains as this flow is unending!
Peace I hope they will SOON be getting!

STay Positive!
Soon to follow will be the prices
(As if there not high enough already)
I don't know if St Louis has been hit yet?
Then there's Memphis
Who knows what kind of pollution is headed for the Gulf of Mexico
