I Love You Houston!

Everyone is told to board up their homes and get to higher ground.

Storm Harvey is preparing to take up residence in the place you call home

Harvey packs a mighty punch and won’t be leaving any time soon

You may have no home to go back to

Your memories will be gone

Houston will never look or be the same again

There’s no time for petty indifferences

Here in this moment everyone is equal

Having lost someone or something that they love

Wondering where to go, what to do, what to say and who to say it to

All you can do now is pray

That anyone watching or listening

Is brave enough

Willing enough

To help his fellow man

Please follow all orders

As record rains continue to hit hard

Looting has gotten out of hand

Now there’s a curfew all must follow

Don’t give up hope

Every SOS is seen by someone and

HELP will be on the way

Pray hard

Give what you can

and hope for the swift end to Harvey’s reign

on Houston
