Family Survival

Living in the moment is so hard to do When your life is being blown around, like the wind outside the door. Not knowing how you will survive And rebuild your entire life While trying to protect your unborn child. Your house has survived But all your food is gone, Electricity did not survive The monster called The Storm. Hiding the tears from those you love, Trying to be brave And pushing to be strong. Taking care of a toddler With one on the way, Would not have been possible But family saved the day. Living in a house With ten adults and five kids Worrying was not allowed But to live in the day. God saw us through And we all survived It drew the sisters closer And created a stronger bond. For all the destruction That Katrina created, She could not destroy The spirit of family. This is dedicated to my four sisters and my parents. Through many trials and tribulations, we have stuck together as a true family. Helping each other is not a burden but a privilege. Even as we have little tiffs and fights, we still stick together; For we have a special bond that can never be broken.
