The Vengeful Eye of Our Katrina and the Hope That Never Dies

We braved the wave Surfed her ferocious tides Hold together in one hand Help those in need sitting stranded on roof-tops Waiting to be rescued For hope to come and restore Our city to former glory Every resident is ready,willing,and able to share a unique chapter in this continuous story Drowning? NO!We do not know that despicable meaning Everyone is shelter Even though the buildings have temporarily lost private comfort Love continues to grow As the water-logged streets begin to silently recede Passing through a Moment in Time Recording the Bravery and the Sorrow of many A ruthless -ITCH when she is angry and hungry We all peered directly in her Eye and repeated in unison.. SORRY TO DISAPPOINT,MY LADY THIS CONGREGATION IS NOT YET PREPARED TO DIE!! The World should not stop her revolving motion For her Children will stand firm against an Angry Ocean One path forever clear It is a Fact that our Road will never disappear Fate decrees There is Paradise beyond the Yawning Seas Criticism from the cynical few Cannot stop the Giving within you Grandparents will recall Katrina's point of view and the victories that made us TOO Dreams are borne from Humble Orphans Kisses are wet but it came from The Good Woman's mouth Celebrate Life Her sincere meaning One year later Many Smiles,wide and gleaming For WE ARE AWAKE NO LONGER SIMPLY DREAMING!
