Edward Ibeh Poet Ode

Ode To Disaster Victims

Stay strong and have faith
For hope will continue to float over 
The raging floods. Here's hoping you will find solace 
In the thought that the rest of America stands 
Shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with you

Stay strong and have faith
For the skies above will always be blue
For people trapped in darkness will soon 
Break free to a bright beacon of light
May God be with you throughout these dark hours. 

Stay strong and have faith
For you'll always see tomorrow's sunrise
And this storm will eventually pass
Know that everything is going to be alright
Know that normalcy will once again be restored

Darlene De Beaulieu September 2, 2017 at 9:06 AM Hello Edward, this poem has a lot of strength written in your poem for Texas. I am sure that lots of people there are praying to God for help. I will pray for them. Have a nice day my friend. Edward Ibeh September 27, 2017 at 1:50 PM Thanks, Darlene. I'm praying for the hurricane victims in Florida and Puerto Rico as well. These are really hard times!:( Thanks again for your kind words! Take care...
