FROM THE PEN OF JANE GRAY
JUNE 2022
WHEN ALL’S SAID & DONE JEGMay2022
Could this happen again? History making rain? Such sorrow & pain over valleys & plain When floodwaters abated and sunshine awaited Most were elated while others debated Homes & businesses prepared, demolished or spared Hard work gladly shared, emotions stripped bare Mud armies reached out, such destruction about Community spirit throughout, of that there’s no doubt Many weeks rolled by with sunny days & blue sky So many questions why, still trying not to cry For some Life’s not the same all they’ve got is their name Not sure what’s to blame in this heart wrenching game Again rain starts to fall – forecasters put out the call Be prepared one & all for another long haul Anxieties soar, strength comes to the fore For one thing’s for sure, some can’t take any more! Heavy rain far & wide, many rivers collide Waves of heartache to ride with nowhere to hide We’ll again see the sun & again we’ll have fun But Mother Nature has won when all’s said & done
