Tradegy and Disaster

There’s a thing about disaster Makes us act as we should All working together Differences aside Something about when tragedy strikes We all pull together Thousands become one Funny how hate fades away And love doesn’t hide Hands are reached And arms are held Pasts are forgotten Futures are gleaned Comforts are given And for such a short time We go on freely living Suppose the trick is When all is repaired Not forgetting the short time As one we all cared Take it back to our daily lives Carry on with the trust We all found a must To make it through Tragedies and disasters That came calling on us Oh if only our day to day Were looked upon As tragedy and disaster So that hand in hand And back to back We put differences aside And love didn’t feel Like it had to hide Until tragedies and disaster Come calling on us

Thank you Michael, Karen and Janette, I appreciate you taking the time to give me a read and am honored to be blessed as a featured poet on such a wonderful site.

So much truth in your words. People usually stand up in times of trouble but we slide back into old ways not learning from the past. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Congratulations on having your poem featured. Karen
