The Flood

The disaster in Texas is uppermost in my mind at this time, and I had to share my thoughts-may God give strength and courage to the families of innocent victims.

Of a tragedy so profound, how does one make sense

Why did nature exact revenge so intense?

The disaster struck children innocent

Hopes and lives were swept away in the torrent

There was a cataclysmic deluge from hell

There was a downpour that made the river swell

There were the flood waters that raged impossibly high

Who would have imagined so many could die..

*

Sophisticated models have been built for weather prediction

But to humble us with unbridled power, nature has a predilection

Floods have for millennia ravaged humankind

All the flood prediction models we have designed

Are prone to failure- when nature decides

To unleash its fury, there is no place to hide..
