THE WINDS, THE RAINS, THE WATERS by Helen R. Green
The gentle winds began to blow
The trickling rains began to fall
The rippling waters began to rise
Not to worry, we have the levee wall
The raging winds blew harder
The drenching rains came down faster
The rushing waters rose higher
We started to worry if the wall would hold
The winds, the rains, the waters
Came at us with astounding fury
Lashing out at everything around us
Our levee wall began to crack
We started to gather things and leave
Waiting, wondering when it would stop
And if everyone got out in time
The wall had opened up so wide
The whistling winds had stopped
The pouring rains had ceased
But the waters just kept on coming
Our town was now a lake
Homes were now a pile of bricks and boards
Our streets we could not find
Some of our neighbors we could hear them cry out
Some we did not know if they survived
The wrath of nature is hard to understand
But we all know God has a plan
We must be strong for those who have lost
And thank God for all who have survived
Remember the world was not built in a day
We struggled to get where we are
Let us all have patience now and ban together
Our town and our lives can be rebuilt
Just remember it all takes a little bit of time.
