Swept By

Clouds come not to be swept by

Rain pounding pavement
Water rushes your senses
Caught up in the torrent

Little precious lost children
Can’t imagine the pain they’re going through

Finding human in the brush
Angels wings aren’t enough

On the road to my savior
Didn’t know it’d be this soon

Rain turns to a river
Taking away those I love
Can’t hold on tight enough

Get swept under my sins
Limbs of life go under
Day I want to forget

Scrub it from my memory

Don’t want to go back anymore

Put together what’s left of my lost family
Black Sunday lay wife and two to rest
Only way to get out of this nightmare so real

Author's Note
There was a storm in my area and members of a family were caught in it and didn’t survive. May God rest their souls and give comfort to the survivors.
