Sandy's Destruction
One neighbor brought milk.
another brought ice
In times of crisis, like this
I realize most people are nice.
Let's be creative today. Can you write a poem about Hurricane Sandy, or about things you can do to help? Do have fun.
I saw on the news that someone had used a long cord and draped it over the fence to help others charge their phones. This is just a little piece of human kindness that one sees isn't it?
Many years ago, my mom and I washed all the clothes left in the dirt after a tornado destroyed a family's home. There's usually something that people can do. Thanks for reminding us.
I like this a lot, Joy! I wanted to mess around with the punctuation and capitalization a little:

ReplyDeleteI just thought of another possible name, too:
ReplyDelete"Sandy's Instruction" - ha!
You're right, Tabatha.
Delete"Sandy's Instruction" is a much better title.
Titles are something I'm not very good with. Thanks for the help.
Joy,
