[bodytext] => YOU LOSE ANDREW It's over now and the sun is out And now there's a different view Of what there was and what is left From Mother Natures child, Andrew. His birth was quite unwelcome His screams heard through the night To warn us all of what's to come From his bark and from his bite. As he moved, his strength would push The wind and rain to it's most. With total destruction in his heart He trained his "eye" upon the coast. He was dead set in his mission He knew exactly what he'd do But we were only left to guess What it'd be like when he was through. So we tried to prep ourselves In the best ways that we can Against a force of nature That has no respect for man. We boarded up the windows And fled to higher ground Knowing that when we returned Maybe nothing would be found. Just what things will Andrew take If he fulfills our greatest fear? Just the things we can replace Or the loved ones we hold dear? Well, his fury did take plenty Both in property and in lives As he cut his way through cities Like a million wheeled knives. But even with all his power There was a greater from above That shined on all God's creatures To protect them with his love. For within his divine wisdom God is the only one who knows How to keep so many safe From Andrew's angry blows. Yes, Andrew paid his visit And he did his nasty sin But when he's gone forever It's the people, their deeds And God's love that will win.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
