"WHILE WE WERE FEARING IT, IT CAME"

Well here we go again. Today happens to be the Third Anni. of Katrina. I happen to live a few blocks away from the cemetary where the unclaimed victims are being buried. I had every intention to go down there with the kids today. That didn't happen.
We are packing because the weather forcast looks ominous to say the least. Here we go again..this time with GUSTAV! CRAP!!!!!

I found a poem that is so fitting at this time.

Emily Dickinson

"WHILE WE WERE FEARING IT, IT CAME"

While we were fearing it, it came,
But came with less of fear
Because that fearing it so long
Had almost made it fair.

There is a fitting---a dismay;
A fitting---a dispair.
'Tis harder knowing it is due
Than knowing it is here.

The trying on the utmost,
The morning it is new,
Is terribler than wearing it
A whole existence through.

Emily Dickinson

God bless, maybe we will be spared this time.
