by Roland R. Ruiz - San Antonio, Texas
Moments of thankfulness sometimes go unnoticed
When times of terror grip our land
In September of this year
Storms have battered our beautiful shore
Along the western gulf
So many people have lost their homes
Or even worst their souls
Storms will mar this calendar year
For all time to come
Now what's left is hope and prayer
Dear God we ask of you
Please help the souls that have survived
To find another life and home
Within your gracious land
With help from the flock you left untouched
Who still have home and soul
Make this moment of thankfulness last forever more

Wow...this poem has touched my heart. Who can feel the emotion, the pull of life? Thanks for sharing your words...I have found comfort in such a reassuring way!
Living far away from such disasters, still I can imagine and feel the horror the people go through if hit by such natural catastrophs. And even from a far I shall join you all who pray for security and the blessing of no battle like it tragically happened.
Your poem is wonderful! Ursula
