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.
