That which challenges us only makes us stronger!
Flooded outside with water
Flooded inside with tears
As no one has seen such havoc
In a countless number of years
The relentless rain; it seemed to never end
The likes we have seldom seen
People were trapped inside their homes
Their streets resembled streams
Hurricane Harvey slammed the Texas coast
And stalled out over our great city
It flooded the north, south, east, and west
It really had no pity
Visions ingrained forever in our minds
Of victims trudging through high water
Trying desperately to get somewhere safe
To deal with all the disorder
Fearful, nervous, and terrified people
Watched the water rise higher and higher
All around them their world was washing away
They were getting desperate and so very tired
Thousands of people lost everything they had
Their homes, belongings and their cars
But helping hands and much-needed supplies
Are reaching out to them from afar
The emotional toll cannot even be measured
The aftermath will be so heavy
With the destruction of such a powerful storm
Coupled with flooding caused by the levee
Yes, the hurricane crippled our bustling city
It will take months and years to rebuild
But we have the heart of a champion
Which is way too hard to be killed!
