Mourning

Children of Oklahoma Lost in your school Swept away by a blind fury Women of Oklahoma Destroyed in your houses Hit without escape by wild air Men of Oklahoma Unable to resist to monstrous nature And to protect your families People of Oklahoma So far away but so close to our heart We cry for you. We are close to you. These are the only things we can do.

Hello Mario, heartfelt, sad imagery! The line "Men of Oklahoma Unable to resist to monstrous nature And to protect your families" made me very sad. I know we all wish we could protect the ones we love from disasters like this... mourning for the world ... Take Care * Linda
