This is not the post I was going to write today
 |
| please go here and read the courier mail |
but as we wait to hear news
of our son and his beautiful family
of A-M and the boys
and all our other friends
I wonder is there a family
in Australia
unaffected by the
horrendous news coming out of
Queensland
and now North Western New South Wales
with 9 confirmed dead
and 66 still missing
the death toll is bad enough
but on top of this
6500 homes will go under in Brisbane
in the next two days
and already hundreds of houses
and businesses
have been lost
The rain is not easing
and the wall of water that
became an inland tsunami in
Toowoomba and was responsible
for the lost lives
is racing down the valley
toward the Capital
to meet a King Tide
I ask
that tonight
you light a candle
say a prayer and think
of all those in
Queensland who have lost
nearly everything they possess
and for whom the worst
is yet to come
Night
