Thank Youcountry as flag
At summers end 2005
a wind came to be known.
The water rose to find
away into a city
that found itself alone.
Despair turned to greed
for some
who should be blamed
for the few that died.
Others gave hope
to those in need
while some ran away
and some just cried.
The ones in blue
are the ones that were true
to help the ones in despair.
While others stopped to think
about what should be done
they were the ones who were there.
From the dirty water and roof tops
they gave a helping hand to all.
Threw the heat of the day
and the bullets at night
the Coast Guard
was there when thy called.
