After watching the news tonight and seeing the tragedy in Moore, OK, this haiku came to me.
Tornado
Violent winds blow.
Possessions flying away.
Only life matters.

It’s heart breaking. I pray you and your family are safe. Blessings for those who have been devastated yet again by tragedy.
Yes, we are safe. We don’t get tornadoes as often in Texas, but we do get them. I just read that the tornado in Oklahoma yesterday was 8 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. That’s amazing!
I’m thankful you’re safe. My heart really feels for everything people there must be experiencing right now. Blessings friend.
