Human Kindness In Extraordinary Ways
Oh great protector
Of all the worlds human sectors
Rain falls on the erector scale
It came down without fail
So many of us left out to bail
Without anything to sail
Human kindness
People helping people
Without blindness
It's things like this that remind us
We will be able to put this behind us
America's spirit will get through it
The water just blew through it
Everything old and new totally screwed
Nothing could be truer
In how the winds grew
The rains came stunningly
Like a facet left running
Washed our city of Houston away
All on this 27th day of August 2017
Like Catrina, Harvey packs a punch
Put so many worlds into a crunch
Nothing left but a homeless bunch
Castaway stranded for days
People coming together in extraordinary ways
Everything we know in a complete maze
Human perseverance
Without the government's interference
We all praise our first responders
For saving so many left to wonder
Mile after mile the city has been reduced
To nothing but rubble piles
It will take a miracle and a great while
To reconcile all the lives broken without smiles
I prayed through wave after wave
Of mother natures conflict rave
That washed so much history away
With thousands of people that have no choice
But to stay and rebuild there lives day after day
The good old fashion way people helping people
Human kindness in extraordinary ways
