I am pasting a poem that my 15 year old grandaughter wrote, that really captures how we all feel and how we will come through all that Mother Nature wants to throw at us.
Rainbow
By the time we sensed it, it was too late
We had no warning
It just came and took away
Everything
It was strong
we tried so hard to get away
but we couldn’t
It was tall
It towered the trees
It destroyed
every
last
breath
It was destructing
nothing was left
It took away
our pride
our Happiness
our life
but only for a while
Still, Im waiting for my
rainbow
to tell me everything's going to be alright
because I know it won’t be
at least not for a while.

Glenys, I have been reading the news from your country with a deep feeling of compassion for all those people who have lost their homes. Your graddaughter's poem is very touching. I certainly hope that the floods will be over by now. But is there anything left there?
Glenys, your granddaughter is so talented. Her poem is touching and beautiful. I hope she has all the chances in the world to become a writer of note. We should all take down her name for future reference.
