by Ethel Keith - Arlington, Texas
Sometimes I cry when I think of home
Wondering why everything's all gone
Sometimes I cry because some people died
Trying to escape from the rising tide
Sometimes I cry when babies had no food
The way they treated us was very cruel
Sometimes I cry from the nightmares I have
The sorrow and pain is hard to bear
Sometimes I cry when I see the death toll
So many bodies, mostly old
Sometimes I cry when nothing's wrong
Then I think about families without a home
Sometimes I cry because my sisters are gone
But with GOD'S help - He has made them strong
Sometimes I cry because it's great to be alive
Thank you GOD that I survived
