I wrote this poem towards the beginning of the fire…I wanted to share it with you, and a few other of my little writings that I have written to help me and whoever else they might help get through one of the most horrible disaster that we hopefully, our communities and families will ever have to deal with…It’s entitled,
‘Our Mountain is a Burnin’….
-Our mountain is a burnin’ to the sky, Piercing the heart of heaven; The winds & the ashes, makin’ even the angels cry, In the very soul of heaven; I believe I can hear our Father sigh, ‘cuz of the carelessness of a few, Yet He sends His love & a message from on high, “Remember-child, I am with you”, & He encircles me with Heaven!…. But, for a time, our mountain is still a burnin’, to the sky…

…..’There’s smoke in the valley, the valley so low, Ashes and embers, landing below, Angels are watching, Firefighters, too, keeping us safe, here, Giving us peace!’…by me…sung to the tune of “Down in the Valley”…
