Children of the Storm (New Orleans)
Children of the Storm
Title: Children of the Storm
What do you attempt to say
Come out and let us play
Tomorrow is another day
All our families in disarray
How do you try to read
A story to a child in need
With trembling mouths to feed
Seeing their laughter recede
When will the children begin
To heal and smile again
Their internal storms brewing
From the hurricane within.
