I see legs, knee-length submerged in rain
Useless umbrellas and cars scattered on streets,
Empty homes filled with water
Some apartments drowned
I anxiously watch the news,
As streets disappear Harvey is coming,
news anchors cautioned
The muffled rain in the background
Then I see open haven,
food banks,
evacuation crew
Neighbors and churches hand in hand
Kids from my old school helping others
To build back the city of Houston,
To all scattered in shelters,
Misplaced in others' homes
Please take a minute,
To understand the amazing truth
You have been through the toughest storm
Helped others, helped yourselves,
Gave families and others protection,
What can you not conquer?
