A simple Ode to Our Friend Lawrence Hebb

Most of do not know New Zealand most have never been there, although I was blessed to many many years ago. A land of good folks we should call friends for their peace seems never to end. Lawrence has brought us from near and other like a light like a brother.

New Zealand a place of harmony and good graces

It brings us home like all of our special places

Land of forests made for some kind of excellence

A place created out eternal brotherly benevolents

We do not know when tragedy strikes but we must act as what is right

So we pray this horrible horrible night

Let there be ease a pain not so great

Let there be medical teams to help mitigate

Bless the men and women of first responders

Let us not even their bravery we ever ponder

Fire into the air and sea into all for heaven to see.

Please let comfort on this great land for there to be

We cannot know the pain they must suffer

But yes our intentions and prayers we may offer

Look not here for we will not know the pain

But in our love maybe others down there may gain

Especially thoughts of goodness and praise

Up to Lawrence these we raise

My son and I offered up a dance

That so many were given a chance

But in prayer we kneeled to do cry

For those who perished and we know not why

These tragadies happen beyond our possible scope

But our friends are safe we can always hope

Momma wrote back “Is your friend okay?”

I think his family is safe for today

So in our we pray for Lawrence and his family fine

Like in our family that does just fine
