#56 Katrina
KATRINA
What once was a city is now a sea,
A place that had vibrancies and strong energy.
The streets were filled with music and laughter
Until the day it was declared one the nation's worst natural disasters.
What once were businesses and houses and streets
Became graveyard canals where dead bodies would meet.
Houses became islands, rooftops became rafts
While hope and happiness became a thing of the past.
Thousands were hungry and lost and dying
It wasn't just women and children that were crying.
People prayed for death because the suffering was so great
While others sang the declaration of prejudice and hate.
But despite what others claim it to be
I know there are others out there like me
With love in their hearts and the spirit of peace
And the more that we give the more lives we increase.
Let's us not wait for death and despair
To step out of our armor and show that we care.
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the
other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and
the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
--Carl Jung
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just
a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
--Helen Keller

Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the
middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance
to float up. And it will.

Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
--Jean de La Fontaine
