Harvey 2017

As we look through the eyes 
of those in fear
Don't ever forget it could have 
been here
The Sea was angry and set 
forth a rage 
That put the amount of rain
off any weather's gage
Nature and its fury headed
straight for the gulf
The time needed to set out
just wasn't enough
No one was safe as it came
ashore 
As we look back now we 
should have done more
Lives were lost in the 
devastationyou see
It could have been you or 
could have been me
No place is spared when nature
takes its course 
Our hearts are heavy and 
filled with remorse
I ask you GOD please give
them immediate peace
Like you commanded the waters
within hands reach
Thank you for the responders and 
to all those reaching out
For in their hearts you will
see no doubt
Sadness is seen everywhere
you look
For this will go down in every
history book
