A poem to let the grieving souls along the Louisiana and Mississippi coastlines as well as those who have sheltered in areas, such as Houston, Texas, that we are here for them through this disaster and we will be here for them for as long as it takes for their lives to return to as normal as possible, under the circumstances...
Even when the worst is finished
And the storm waters recede
Kindness shall not be diminished
In your time of greatest need
For we feel the weight you carry
And the burdens you must bear
Knowing that your spirit, wary
Needs the love of those who care
In the face of utter madness
Is an everlasting light
That brings hope amid the sadness -
Calmness to the fear and fright
We will be forever with you
Until every need is met
For the hardships you have gone through
We will not soon forget
Even when the worst is finished
And the toll has last been known
Kindness shall not be diminished
And you'll never walk alone
For we'll be right there beside you
In our hearts and souls, indeed
Giving all that we can accrue
In your time of greatest need

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
the terrible thing is that as much as we all give now, it has been the last few days that the real need for water and food is there and no help for the people who need it most...at least not enough help when it is needed most.does that make any sense. i liked your poem jill
It is in the American psyche. To weather all adversity with inner strength of steel.
