Here I sit in sunshine
While a thousand miles away,
My relatives in Florida
Are under Irma's* sway.
My sister lost her power
More than seven hours ago
While my aunt and cousin in the west
Are waiting, lying low.
It's so strange to know disaster
Is occurring in a place
Where your family or friends are,
Very far from your home base.
So I check in with a phone call
Or a quick and simple text
While I sit here in the sunshine
And I wonder what comes next.
