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
