Thank God It Wasn't Me
30 December, 2004
Author: Ben Franklin
As I search the island,
still looking for my friend,
I think to myself
"I never thought this would be the way our friendship would end".
Destruction everywhere I look,
mother nature please look at all the lifes you have
took.
60,000 people and raising,
mother nature you truly are frightening.
Tears in the eyes of everyone I see,
everyone with the same thought running through their mind...
"thank God it wasn't me".
------- Author's Notes -------
To the dead, To the missing, To the found....Our hearts go out to you x |
