The Heat is On
Posted: July 15, 2007
Contemplating the nationwide heat wave…
It's hot as ...
Well, it sure is warm!
The heat-caused fires
have done much harm.
And truth be told
this summer's bound
to take a vicious toll.
From Portland, Maine
to Oregon,
we're victims
of a blazing sun
who's showing off
his solar strength
and proving he?s the boss.
The mercury
is rising fast.
How long will this here
heat wave last?
Is global warming
why it seems
Mom Nature's really steamed?
Those cooling shelters
give relief.
But when it comes
to loss and grief,
there's nothing
anyone can do
to heal a broken heart.
So when your town
at last cools off,
remember some
still have it rough.
Consider them
who've lost it all
and say a prayer for them.
