Tornadoes of New Hampshire
Yesterday I thought I try
to help some strangers, I thought I would cry
So we drove an hour and half to meet
The rain was so torrential we could hardly see
But our mission was true and hopefully we strove
All along the road a beautiful green land cove
I was hard to believe that nature had struck
So we pulled up the station and unloaded our truck
We bought them water and batteries to
And a bag full of clothes to cheer up there blues
Here a woman had lost her life
The baby in her arms lived through the strife
She was unlucky God called her home
So sadly down the street we decided to roam
We came upon some broken limbs of trees
Further down that road we did squeeze
My heart fell down my hands to my knees
There along the road for were broken off tops of pine trees
The twisted heaps lined family yards
And to each one of them I send you my regards
It looked like a war zone
I had never seen anything like this at my home
Nature had unleashed her wrath
Distorted people lives in a wink of her path
Animals ran loose wires were down
After it was over
came the shock and tears abound
I am sure they will never come to forget
the moments of terror and that awful upset
For all those people I wish you the best
And I hope your friends; family and neighbors help clean up the mess
I hope we as humans can pull together and help
And those with more money please share your wealth
