By the Grace of God

The trees went down
water rose
over the limits
the oldman flushed
Man's waste
back to him
The world shook in Japan
Mammoth wave took people with it
God tossed automobiles like match box cars
some lives willnever be found
as catastrophic as terrorism
we have no defense can only wait
just donations from the one's unaffected
still
lover's lay tangles
in bed sheets
a father's grace carries
his daughter to her home
children smile and step soflty off a school bus
we can experence different shades of unity
at a pastor's sermon
a punk show
and marching in line while singing cadence
even while feet step heavier
during these times of tragedy
God's grace still shines through the clouds
making us feel his embrace
