It happened high up on top while we were on the mount
The mount seemed to rock back and forth
Suddenly there was an immediate shake
All I could say was  “For Heaven’s Sake”
We realized we were in a middle of an Earthquake
There was certainly no place to run
We were in the Arizona desert in the hot sun
As we looked across the vast horizon to look upon
We could see in the distance where damage had been done
Cactus Trees were falling down
Mountain upon Mountain of rubble hurling from all around
There were no people to be found
Suddenly a stillness of shock was our only silent sound
The Earthquake may have eased down, but what about the aftershocks
Perhaps I spoke too soon
This could very well be our own doom
Debris was starting again to fly all over
There was no place to take cover
High up on the mount we were
We were certainly at the mount peak far
We didn’t see any sight of any car
But we seemed to survive an Earthquake’s rage
This could happen at any age
It was just another of God’s amaze.
