Array ( [sid] => 104684 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Days Of Sunshine Days Of Shadow [time] => 2005-08-30 12:14:24 [hometext] => Prayers are with you and may the loving hearts of neighbors come to your aid. 08/29/05 In memory of those who perished as well as those who survived. [bodytext] => Days ago the sun did shine for many, many with hopes and dreams so clear
unsuspecting that days of shadow would soon be near.

Destruction was on its way, its course not yet predictable, as the winds began
to cause the trees to bend and sway.

Evacuations were now in order, and they began to flee this shadow,
a shadow that would become one of horror.

Katrina hit without remorse, the wind and rain she brought with such force, packing A
mighty blow upon her violent course, like a nuclear holocaust without radiation
the people look on, at the shadow of devastation.

She has left her mark for the world to see, the lands now covered by blanket of
water that once was part of the sea.

Let this tragedy open our hearts in prayer, our hands in help to those in dire need.

In hopes that the days of sunshine they again will soon see.

Days ago the sun did shine for many, many with hopes and dreams so clear
unsuspecting that days of shadow would soon be near.

Destruction was on its way, its course not yet predictable, as the winds began
to cause the trees to bend and sway.

Evacuations were now in order, and they began to flee this shadow,
a shadow that would become one of horror.

Katrina hit without remorse, the wind and rain she brought with such force, packing A
mighty blow upon her violent course, like a nuclear holocaust without radiation
the people look on, at the shadow of devastation.

She has left her mark for the world to see, the lands now covered by blanket of
water that once was part of the sea.

Let this tragedy open our hearts in prayer, our hands in help to those in dire need.

In hopes that the days of sunshine they again will soon see.
