Starting Over

So changes weather, the winds are strong
I’m blown to where I don’t belong
Such power and force, a strength immense
Away went my house and so did my fence
So, now I stand, just looking about
And realize how I am totally without
Alone? However, I appear not to be
I look about and there are far more than me
Despite the loss of property, real
Seeing faces about, leaves me to feel
That not all is lost, just a new place to start
With our friends and our family, possessions of heart
