Prayers Rise Above

There are people in NC And other states proven to be abandoned from hurricane Helene

Now, Cat 5 Hurricane Milton is on the way to FL

Prayers rise above a threatening storm
where deadly wind spins ominous threats
To people, animals, property and land
It can't be stopped, people can only be saved
A challenging time it is, testing strength
An opportunity to help one another...
What will it be?
Will those in power ignore with heartless minimization?
As if they are invincible in their own powerful lives?
Well, prayers rise above them, far above their reach!
What happens now....for them, time will teach
