HopeA Poem by Chloe..Across the Universe
I packed our belongings,
looked around - could be the last time I see this town - I hope beyond hope it does not drown Like Atlantis of old this town may be buried beneath the Missip's muddy sea because you see we are sacrificial lambs now look closely I tell the kids - no tears Instead of tears - hope- hope to have a home to come back to hope we have a town to come back to look around , soak it all in put it your memory bank Perhaps the last we see of our home town I know it hurts, I am crying too we have to be strong and see this through wipe away your tears let's leave without fear This house has held us kept us safe and warm through many a winter's storms - here from your birth I brought you so many memories we all share call Chipper get him in the car , no dear child He can not swim that far- all your questions I have no answers my precious dears looks as if the worst may already be here but we can hope , we can pray Going to take a miracle to save the day we can hope , we can pray for a miracle of miracles to safe our day *Please, let it be *. © 2011 Chloe..Across the UniverseAuthor's Note
