Flood

The rain was very loud all week,

Sun, my mind did seek.

I was worried about a flood,

Puddles growing deep with mud.

Woke one day to hear,

That the floods were very near!

I was worried! But safe; high and dry,

As I looked up at the darkening sky.

So many friends I couldn't call,

The network is down, no contact at all.

Completely cut off: power out.

No news to hear about.

Many days have passed,

Water dropped at last.

Then came the destruction site,

So many homes destroyed by the flood's might.

So much lost.

The Pain remains!
