Hurricane Katrina


 

Tearful Goodbye

She sits on the railing of highway 10 passing the time
Has she done something wrong or committed a crime

People pass her not even looking in her eye
No even telling her where they are going or even goodbye


They look down at the body that lies at her feet
Never stopping the line moving down the street

They make the sign of the cross and turn away
As if to say God help you on this day

A child passes with a smile upon his face
He slows his father to a slower pace

He looks at her as if to say
Its ok to go on your way


Don't cry or ever ask why
Just bid the city a tearful goodbye

Spread you wings now and fly
High into heaven in the sky

I know it's hard to leave them all behind
But let me take your worries off your mind

Don't worry about your family and how they will cope
Just know that now they live in the City of Hope

    The is my niece (in the front with cap) that I am SO very proud of! She had to deal with bringing out the sick, wounded and dead. I have told her it takes very special type of person to do her job. Not only was she working very hard helping others, but she had her home to worry about also that had damage to it, but thankful things have been repaired and she is back home now.
     On the stretcher are twin girls her and her partner (a paramedic from up North) rescued of the bridge, their farther is in the back of the picture.
     Notice the bottom of the picture, my Lil Ash was on OPRAH!!!!!!!! I can not express how proud I am of her and know that she will make many more amazing accomplishments in her life! I love you Ashley and thank you for helping those in their time of need!
