PAINFUL BLESSINGS

*PAINFUL BLESSINGS.* 

We didn't ask for much
We only prayed our wishes
Our prayers were not only answered
We were granted In excess.
The painful blessings.

No more jubilation songs
We are left with sorrowful tears
What we had built for decades was flooded and plained in seconds
The painful blessings.

Raining cats and dogs
Rivers turning into oceans
Village turning into swamp
The gardens are no longer  for planting
They are oasis 

Painful blessings
Death fall,from heaven
Children cries in search of family
Mother's wailing in a search.
The painful blessings 

Helpless fathers in dimming hope of searching 
The rescued are half dead 
No beginning or rather hope to rebuild 
Floods deprived our pride.
The painful blessings
