Story of us

This poem is a tribute to Hurricane Katrina Victims. I hope you enjoy the read!

It seemed like I heard
A whisper
It seemed like I heard
A sigh
This dark and lonesome picture
Narrates
The story of a grieving child

She was tired and homeless
She said she was much in pain
She had lost her loved to Jesus
Left with many reasons for him to blame

I looked at her in empathy
I held her by my side
I didn’t know how to answer
The questions on her mind

She was curious and impatient
She was innocent and naive
She had faced an unhappy ending
To the beautiful moments of her life

I was filled with love for her
I wanted to give her all the comfort
I put my arms around her
And embraced her for the years to come

We walked home under the moonlight
A new journey we had now begun
Hopes and wishes we lived on
We dreamed of a beautiful world!
