Forever Lost

Forever lost

repulsive and shocking

above all imagenation

 

One state

many towns

loss of all

yours and mine

 

heartbreak, realization

ghastly truth revealed

as water receeds to banks

 

buildings ruined

homes demolished

belongings floating downstream

no where to return

 

children confussed

adults crying

could this be worse

than dieing

 

cleanup continues

buildings condemned

neighbors join together

 

lucky few

open up arms

and wallets

to others

 

theres no loss of faith

people smile, though have nothing

sharing stories to meer strangers

 

children smiling

opening up their banks

those with nothing

giving more than others

 

above all our thoughts

to those the prayers go

National disaster for all

 

sad but not alone

help from new friends

we all start to rebuild

all that is forever lost

And to all of those who suffered or lost anything, my heart goes out to you all.

Please remember that these people have lost everything- the whole community has suffered. Everywhere we go you see signs that say things like "We are all in this together" or "We love you Cedar Rapids". you and I have no reasons to complain when we still have a home
