A Twist of Fate

The day was long 
Our eyes did cry 
As we told Bay St. Louis 
Our final good-bye. 

Katrina horribly took 
Our home away. 
The main thing is 
That our faith is here to stay. 

A year has gone by
Since that terrible day
Yet our faith, and hope
Is here to stay.

She may have taken 
All that we had
She really took nothing
For we have all our lives.

If you feel that your life 
has misery on its way 
Just remember that 
God's love is here to stay.
