We are sorry for your losses for there are more beautiful angels in heaven above. We are proud of you for your determination in making each day better than yesterday. I have lived through a tornado in Ripon, WI back in the early 1990's when I lived there and I'm thankful that me and my children survived. Thank You to all the volunteers helping to renew the days ahead. Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to Everyone Dark stormy clouds gather in the distance A tornado was upon the many people and their existence Sirens sounded in the state of Oklahoma’s air Looking outward into the outside was a tornado hitting near As people screamed there’s a twister coming take cover Gathering family members and finding a safe place for their survival A split second was all they had before things go missing when it’s over Meteorologists had been calling this a huge twister on its arrival It hit with a tremendous wind blow It was a persistent and over powering tornado Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone Turning people’s homes upside down and off the ground There wasn’t many buildings or homes to be seen anywhere around As they protected each other when the twister struck their home town Many miles were turned upside down K-9’s are searching with their senses under the clouded sky For us Humans to go in and save people still alive Scraps of wood, shards of glass, cars over turned and crumpled in site People walking up and down the streets with no signs to great their way Winds exceeded faster leaving over 2000 broken homes underneath its path Leaving about 20,000 families displaced People shockingly shattered standing at the sight of the after-math The tornado was a huge disgrace Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone Together helping thy neighbor many people had stories to tell and hear This tornado was one of the most destructive tornadoes in history Stepping into where a person’s home once was is no longer there Leaving many people wondering about things they can do to help is no mystery In an instant, neighborhoods were destroyed People were injured and many lost their lives as help was deployed Young children were trying to take shelter in their school Not knowing what was really happening outside The children sheltered inside the halls as their only protective tool People unsure of the safety of the children’s life inside Expressions of grief and support came from across the world Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone Wishing the tornado leaves with its powerful twirl Many different photos had landed in yards miles from the city of Moore Homes and belongings were now a rewritten landscape Fences of homes were gone and unseen Trees snapped in half and tossed in the breeze Houses were plastered on the ground from many miles around What can we do to help people survive on through Around the world fundraisers and donations grew As the tornado’s winding road left its consequences upon many faces To view the survival of people arising from their hiding places Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone With many treasured memories flown around Windows broken and nails ripped out of walls that fell to the ground There seems to be nothing left of a building or a home From this tornado in Oklahoma was a whispering dome As precious families were awakened Many precious lives had been sadly taken Through the rain and the wind many dreams picked up and tossed around The twister took so many treasures with it from the ground This massive tornado swept through a town near Oklahoma City It cut through elementary schools it turned horribly creepy The loss of children’s lives with it is devastating to all It cut through a medical center with its unpredictable call Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone People in buildings in need of being found under the rubble This scary and unforeseen tornado brought many different troubles It breaks our hearts to see our neighbors suffering The feelings of affliction brought people pain and misery Their pain gets lost within the cities nighttime darkness During the night there’s an absence of light Bringing upon the overnight stay With the help for healing the sun will shine bright Turning everyone’s night into another fulfilling day Bringing from the world a connection of loving gestures Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone With helping and guiding hands towards others The human spirit can stretch far and wide Walking together hand in hand by each other’s side Grieving hearts will be touched with gentle, loving and caring hands While letting new people from communities in Losses are a way of saying to carry on in the honor and name of a loved one In the eyes of our neighbors the tears keep falling in hopes of their survival Upon the many helpful volunteers that came to Oklahoma on arrival We all share in the sorrow that binds us together for a better tomorrow With hopeful teardrops from the eyes of everyone in Oklahoma There will be stronger people like you and me to heal through the sorrow Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone Looking upon each other’s unhappy tears Guiding them into knowing we are happy they are still here Taking a frown on many faces and turning them upside down On the reflection of a new day’s morning sun’s arrival Standing side by side and hand in hand through days that will turn around Many fundraisers will bring to you many needed things for your survival The world continues to pray for the people of Moore city The many surrounding neighborhoods will continue to help guide you sincerely Donations will keep coming to help make things a little better and brighter The world is praying for your recovery and for your losses close and tighter Even through the toughest of times you won’t break down but, rise again Hearts will be filled in times of need will overcome this tragedy With heartfelt love and support the world will continue to send Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone A person’s spirit is tougher than any brick or nail found on the ground Nothing in this world will keep your spirits in silence Volunteers with be with you every step of the way with guidance Please take with you whatever is offered with kindness Help put a smile on a child’s face that might be unsure and fearful You’ll overcome this moment in time and be universal Continue to raise your voices for you’ve made it through another tornado The world of people will keep you within their hearts and prayers So that no one is left behind or even scared Your homes can be rebuilt Your belongings can be replaced Please don’t walk around with any guilt You’ll have memories with your family and friends that can’t be replaced Your neighborhood will once again be a pretty rewritten landscape Your life is worth everything that money can’t buy Each step of your way back home will be a natural and beautiful scenery So if you need a person to lean on or a shoulder to hold you up when you cry The world is here with you to help make it through with pride Peace, Love, Prayers and Support to everyone Much Love God Bless Written and Copyrights By: Deanna M.
