No one knows
They say they do
Give us facts
Category numbers
Tell us to leave our homes
All meaningless
Until the water comes
Then the hope
We had just held
Vanishes like echoes
There is no comfort
I am not the only one
What does that mean?
I am under water
Ruined for now
The heroes are about
Making saves
Ride their vessels
Doing their best
My family is safe
Many are not
We shall overcome
If only we could
More water promised
No power, food or water to drink
I don’t say, “Woe is me”
I pray to God
Take my hand
Forgive me
Help me see what is good
What is important in life?
Then let me act
Fulfill your purpose
The water rises
I feel better
More at peace
Knowing He is with me
It will pass
All things do in time
Then I shall begin again
