Summer heat in early spring
Brings thunder and flashing skies
Winds that howl and rotate sideways
Upright for tornado surprise
Fast mixture of cold and warm winds
Creates a disturbance that spins
Destruction storm leaves in its path
A cleanup quickly begins
Today we face similar foe
But our turmoil comes from within
A struggle reflecting heart's warmth
Ponder cold and warm thoughts that spin
Cold thoughts that say lives must be paid
So, businesses don't pay a toll
Warm thoughts where we act to save lives
Self-sacrifice we each control
Cold thoughts keep us divided
Stand alone and buffer dark storm
But warm thoughts bring us together
Find solutions where lives transform
Hope folks are learning a lesson
Cooperation wins a war
When we choose to stand divided
More lives will be lost in storm's roar
