Days of Disasters
One after another hurricanes pounded
With a terrible vengeance winds blew and surrounded
Tornadoes formed, flood waters kept rising
Disasters abounded as people were dying
Wild fires burned, raged with a vengeance
It seemed nature’s fury was wild and relentless
A madman rained down bullets of death
We watched in fear and each held our breath
Heroes appeared in these dire situations
And brought help and healing to our great nation
Firefighters, paramedics, police, common folk
Came to the rescue through floods, fire and smoke
Our country’s been broken, beaten and battered
But the flag is still flying, though faded and tattered
We are stronger together, than when torn apart
When people are hurting, we open our heart
God is our refuge in times of disasters and trials
America will triumph, and once again smile
