 Southern Tornadoes, Rain and Mississippi flood 

  

Wind and rain O' what a pain, 

havoc and destruction brought 

Endurance and hope again, 

overcomes what nature has wrought 

  

Second wave brings a slow river flood 

coursing its way down 

Spilling out like hot ,dripping red blood 

staining precious fertile ground 

  

Stand your ground against it all 

nature must be fought 

Rise again to stand proud and tall 

victory earned not bought............--Robert L.
