Waves of Sorrow
In dedication to the Survivors of Hurricane Katrina
August 29, 2005



Waves of sorrow washed over the nation
Unbelief reigned over our great land
Stories of horror and complete devastation
Stunned and shaken, misery close at hand

Sisters reaching out for brothers
Hearts breaking, tears flowing
Children searching for fathers and mothers
Waiting day to day with unknowing

Sounds in the night of loved ones crying
Sorrow after sorrow coming in waves
The living clinging to life among the dying
Happy homes turned into unnatural graves

Water all around yet dying of thirst
Broken pieces of memories strewn
Living a life that was unrehearsed
Trying to cope with the unknown

Torn and shattered feeling forsaken
Nothing would ever again be the same
Trying to make sense of all that was taken
Feeling a need to place the blame

Grasping to hope amongst the ruins
And in the crowds of scattered lives
Loved ones reuniting with loved ones
Thankful that they too had survived

As strangers embrace strangers
With open arms and homes to share
Brotherly love is found replacing the anger
Because now they know that someone does care

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.  Matthew 5:4
Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink?
or, where withal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek)
for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 
But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you. 
Take therefore no thought for the morrow;
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. 
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 
Matthew 6:31-34
