The wind, it blows
With great speed
It mows
Down houses and homes
To the degree,
unknown
Lives lost in its wake
Crumbled buildings,
Can wait
Lives lost, lives lost
Total destruction
Devastating
Flood waters
Not done taking
Floating cars
Shipwrecked boats
Start anew!
Heard someone shout
Memories and furniture
In the neighbors yard
Trees uprooted from the ground
No power near or far
These times when Mother Nature
Stirs up so many lives
We will rebuild ourselves
Its just a matter of time

The wind, it blows
With great speed
It mows
Down houses and homes
To the degree,
unknown
Lives lost in its wake
Crumbled buildings,
Can wait
Lives lost, lives lost
Total destruction
Devastating
Flood waters
Not done taking
Floating cars
Shipwrecked boats
Start anew!
Heard someone shout
Memories and furniture
In the neighbors yard
Trees uprooted from the ground
No power near or far
These times when Mother Nature
Stirs up so many lives
We will rebuild ourselves
Its just a matter of time
I was lucky enough not to lose power. My prayers go out to those who lost so much more
