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..
