It Must be Summertime
Posted: July 27, 2008
Threats of fire and hurricane signal the season…
Out west the fire danger's high
and in the dark Southeastern sky
a hurricane is gaining strength.
You're right. It's summertime.
Each year the horror is the same.
Those killer storms and deadly flames
cause thousands to evacuate
the dreams they leave behind.
A nightmare is what they've become.
They come in waves. There's never one.
Wind and fire, rain and terror.
It's Hell right here on earth.
It's tragic. No, it is far worse.
From coast to coast, it's Nature's curse.
The blackened hills and leveled homes
reveal Mom Nature's wrath.
And they reveal how much we care.
Does news like this result in prayer?
Are we content to say "too bad"
or plead with Father God?
