Poem
On August 29, it rained Never knew that it would change Everything that they ever had is gone Tell me how do they move on A hurricane came through and tore the state that they adored So this to you is my tribute I want to send my prayers To Texas I feel so sad For you to loose everything you had A state washed away In less than a day Seeing the elderly stuck Nothing could be done They were trying to get help They could barely help themselves You saw the water covering them It was a dreadful sight People dying left and right Having to get on air mattresses And in the fridge To swim to safety Children scared No where to go The cars and buses and transits are gone Nothing to call your own How do you hold on And rebuild Your wound is open Please give yourself time to heal People busting out windows Just to save lives Why is it no one hears there cry Or was it simply Nothing that we could do But wait for the after math And trying to figure out the equation Of what happens now People on boats , looking for hope Heads are down Bodies are found Alot of people making donations to rebuild Outside of money What can we really give We can travel And go and help For they can't do it by themselves Let them know that people do care And they are in the way there Reach out and lift up your their heads Give them encouragement Inspiration Let them know what they see now is not there final destination Give them hugs show them love Let them feel unique If they are down help them stand on their feet Millions if people don't have food or clothes Let's come together as a nation and take control Take a stand and volunteer Let them no that the love is here People have to start over From the beginning They felt like they've lost Let them know they're still winning Even if for now they have to relocate Let them know things will get better Texas in a economic crisis They're all making sacrifices to Readjust This makes you appreciate life so much What do you do When there's nothing but rain Know that this is a testimony for all the pain That this storm caused You still are up even when you fall I hope and pray That through the day They find your inner strength And be strong Through this great depression They still hold on It won't belong And even if it does We will come together and show love To the elderly it's going to be ok, you all taught us alot to keep the faith To the people who lost all We are here to catch you when you fall United as a nation Is right now where we should stand And as Micheal Jackson Would say reach out and touch somebody hand This is our chance To rebuild Let's give our time and help Because that's what they need Let's help feed their stomachs and their spirits They need inspiration Let's give it We need to help They are mentally emotionally and physically starving This is my tribute to The victims and survivors of Hurricane Harvey And as the scripture says This too shall pass and trouble won't last Written by:Concetta Hardnett 9/3/2017
