There is much to be thinking about
in these times of hurricanes and need
We are safe in the Great Lakes
But in Texas, people pray and plead
I know it will take months and years to recover,
but our help and donations are needed now
If I could volunteer my time, I would
If it were only possible somehow
Many Texans don't have a home to return to
Whether rich or poor, black or white
Harvey didn't discriminate, nor did
people rescuing others in their plight
Please pray for the people in Texas
who have been devastated by this.
And that Hurricane Irma forming
in the ocean is a complete miss!

- Comment from author about the poem: If you haven\\\'t already, please check out CNN.com/Impact where there are multiple links to pages like the Red Cross where you can make a donation to Hurricane Harvey survivors. Remember, there are still a lot of people in shelters, and a lot of people did not have flood insurance.

My heart goes out to all those involved - fine write Christina
Thank you Micheal!
Good to see the spirit of community is alive and well in Texas. Good writing on a subject for our times.
I appreciate your kind words, dusk!
Good write and you can donate everywhere from grocerys to hardware stores to online news ....least we can do for sure
Yes, I was surprised to go to Walmart and see them doubling donations. Thanks for your kind words!
Thanks CHRIS for a lovely tribute to those who dwell on the beautiful South Coast of TEXAS. They had everything to live for ~ AND STILL DO ! The Texan Spirit can never be drowned. I remember Praying in 2001 in The Unitarian Church in AUSTIN TX for the victims of 911 and New York ~ my Friends in New York are now asking me to pray for TEXAS ~ AMEN. People in Bangladesh are much poorer and also hit by flood ! However (as you point out) Hurricanes & Floods don''t discriminate ~ they just destroy. The Churches in the UK are all praying (and giving) for TEXAS ~ at this sad and disastrous time. Comforting hugs in the Spirit ~ BRIAN
Thank you so much for a wonderful and spirited reply. As an american it pleases my heart that people across the world are giving to people affected by the Hurricane. On the news it said some people had relocated from New Orleans to Houston when hit by Hurricane Katrina, and now they got hit again. So sad. Thanks for your prayers! Hugs, Christina
It was a disastrous event, however, the unity of Texans as they work together to rebuild what was lost to them. Great ode!
Thanks so much poetboy, your comments are much appreciated!
