Neighbours And Friends

  Neighbours And Friends
Picture Credits:

This was written during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, September, 2005

We often have our differences,
About most everything,
Our customs and our way of life,
The anthems that we sing.

The way we walk, the way we talk,
May not be just like you,
Your pioneers used wagon trains,
And our used large canoes.

Your people speak 'American',
While ours speak also French,
We're proud to be Canadian,
With loyalty intense.

But you're our southern relatives,
And we're your northern friends,
And when you're needing someone's help,
On us you can depend.

We love you as a family,
Of that you can be sure,
We'll do whatever we can do,
To help you to endure.

We feel your pain and agony,
Your sorrow your and strife,
We cry when we see homelessness,
And senseless loss of life.

We're all in this together, and
We will be to the end,
We'll be with you and see it through,
Our friendship we extend.

One of the first responses came from Canada. They were there before the national guard even got there. A unit of men trained in dangerous rescue from Canada were the first to arrive in New Orleans. Thank all our neighbors. We live in Texas and had family in Gulf Port, Miss. We had just been there three weeks before the storm hit. Now you can't even tell where you are on that road, everything is gone. Trees, houses and even the I-Hop we ate breakfast at are gone! It looks like the war movies we use to watch as kids. There is no words to really describe the devastation! I pray for all that were and are effected. This is a great write. Thank you my friend, Anthony

How very true. This disaster in New Orleans have left a lot of us stunned, and I think it's just now beginning to sink in with a lot of us Americans exactly what happened, you know? I know I could barely believe it...now they're saying it's toxic waters, stuff like that.

I think it's just now kind of starting to hit me, you know? Especially now that refugees and first responders are being brought to Vegas. I want to find out where, because I'd love to volunteer

I think our own citizens and neighbors can easily forget that what happened down south really was, and still is, as trajic as any disater abroad. I have sensesd a certain compacency in some who are still not getting the notion that that a disaster of this magnitude can happen on our shores. Now, though, people do seem to be coming around.
