Hurricane Katrina

lost in a storm where can my family be
hurricane katrina took them away from me
the wind was so strong we tried to hold on
if only we had left before the storm came along
homes under water people afloat
some are alive some are not
such devestation you can hear their cries
will there ever be any more blue skies
its going to take the strength of all
to rebuild the towns that took a fall
to remember those who lost their lifes
in this hurricane that took us all by surprise.
