Thoughts by candlelight: come back, hurricane!
Dear Sir,
Attached is our family poem written last night (Thursday) by candlelight:
Come back, hurricane!
Tanks filling
Beautiful raging oceans
Excited schoolkids in pyjamas
Pets being petted
Separated loved ones flying towards each other
Airlines telling us what’s going on
A good book by candlelight
Hurricane squeezes
Babies conceived
A new baby born!
Zero politics
Zero race issues
Zero race cards
Friends reaching out
Old people getting phone calls
Kids overseas getting in touch
Family photo albums
Families communicating
Little ones helping
Community prayers
Writing a letter
Instrumental entertainment
Workaholics stopping
Bosses talking to staff
Happy memories of past hurricanes
Gratitude for limestone walls
Gratitude for water and electricity
Colour-blind teamwork
Family teamwork
Family poem about a hurricane
Black, white, Indian, Filipino, gay, straight, rich, poor
Bermuda united for two days ...
Come back, hurricane!
