7 feet of water rolled through the homes and lives of people on Ocracoke North Carolina when hurricane Dorian hit the islands directly. You can help them rebuild their lives at https://www.nc.gov/volunteer/donate.
The waters came,
The storm has passed.
Life goes on,
For hearts will last.
Strength does come,
From up above.
No storm can sink,
The ship of love.
The hearts of young,
Past the graves of old.
These souls live on,
Through stories told.
From days which passed,
And tales of yore,
Those who come here,
Meet all those before.
Their hearts stand strong,
And for each other.
A community bond,
Which is like no other.
Amidst these hearts,
Embraced by the sea,
Rebuilding their village,
I wish I could be.
Our hearts were with them,
Standing with them still.
Though we are miles away,
Our hearts feel them still.
Greeting us by name,
As if we were there folks.
For this is how they live,
On Ocracoke.
