Hold On Tight

Hold on tight, a roller coaster ride
Feel the fright as feelings stir inside

Hold on tight and let everyone know
Love burns bright so there's no letting go

Hold on tight, spending less time apart
It feels right to listen to the heart

Hold on tight, more thrilling than a friend
Spend the night, can't let the feeling end

Hold on tight, don't let problems arise
Dim the light to put off the goodbyes

Hold on tight, this isn't working out
It's a fight, can't ignore the doubt

Hold on tight, can't get out of this bind
Out of sight but still clinging in mind

Hold on tight, the words beckoning still
Won't hold tight, till there comes a new thrill

Pulling out one written back in 1987

More on the Flood

May 5:
Their belongings are out on the lawn,
Everything ruined and gone.
Heavy flooding has now gone down,
Green grass is now muddy brown.
Drinking water we must preserve,
No carwash or laundry to conserve.

May 7:
Flooding is starting to be seen.
News coverage had been lean
Where have you been CNN?
Now our telethons begin,
Helping with so much loss
The volunteer spirit is boss!

May 8:
Do what I can to lend a helping hand,
Donate my money and time,
Since I haven't lost all that's mine.
Help my neighbor who has a demand.

During this Flood, don't need to be of blood,
To reach out and give of one self.
Donate clothes and food from the shelf,
Do clean-up in the muck and the crud.

May 10:
You know it's not good when they ask
That you go inside wearing a mask.
With gloves and sturdy shoes,
For when the water starts to ooze.
Everything has a moldy smell,
The residents weren't feeling well.
Just a visitor at this disaster site,
Can't imagine their hurt and fright.

Nashville Flood

Watching the rivers overflow.
Oh No! How far will they go?
Do they really Know?
What a painful blow!
As troubles grow,
The images they show -
Filled with people's woe!


Grateful to not have damage, but living near so many who do.
