A Rainbow at the end of Turmoil.

We live in a country of extremes.... bush fires on one side of the country and devasting, deadly floods on the other.
I am pasting a poem that my 15 year old grandaughter wrote, that really captures how we all feel and how we will come through all that Mother Nature wants to throw at us.
Rainbow
  
By the time we sensed it, it was too late
We had no warning
It just came and took away
Everything

It was strong
we tried so hard to get away
but we couldn’t

It was tall
It towered the trees
It destroyed
every
last
breath

It was destructing
nothing was left
It took away
our pride
our Happiness
our life
but only for a while

Still, Im waiting for my
rainbow
to tell me everything's going to be alright
because I know it won’t be
at least not for a while.
