the worst is yet to come....!

This is not the post I was going to write today

                       please go here and read the    courier mail

but as we wait to hear news

 of our son and his beautiful family

of A-M and the boys

and all our other friends 

I wonder is there a family

in Australia

unaffected by the 

horrendous news coming out of 

Queensland

and now North Western New South Wales

with 9 confirmed dead

and 66 still missing

the death toll is bad enough

but on top of this

6500 homes will go under in Brisbane

 in the next two days

and already hundreds of houses 

and businesses

have been lost

The rain is not easing

and the wall of water that

became an inland tsunami in

Toowoomba and was responsible

for the lost lives

is racing down the valley

 toward the Capital

to meet a King Tide

I ask

 that tonight

you light a candle

say a prayer  and think

of all those in

Queensland who have lost

nearly everything they possess

and for whom the worst

is yet to come

Night
