Katrina

Continuous life adds high tragedy
Solid brick and mortar, gone away.

The ocean rises in her waking bed
New levee’s stand on our history overhead.

Now our loving people reach out
With all their spiritual and kindly might.

Everybody feels this disaster
Our neighbors just next door.

As the salty tear water recedes
The flood of America is arriving.

Negative tides now desert us
New water flows from the well right beside.

New homes, open hearts with a savior meeting
New times, new lives in America, that’s a delivered greeting.
