Peace Interrupted
Dedicated to Dan & Kelly Olson
There was no warning, No sign that said beware.
The flames they were not picky, The fire, it did not care
That the home it was destroying
Was filled with thirty years of living
A life we built together, you, me,
The children - Our Family.
The walls, they crumbled. The roof, it fell,
Turning our home into a vision of Hell.
Now here we stand sifting through ashes
Soot on our hands and tears on our faces,
With hopes of finding something - anything
Left untouched by the flames that went raging
Through our home, and in every room.
The fire tried it's best to consume
Everything that stood in its path.
Each room of our home suffered its wrath.
But no matter how hot, no matter how strong
The flames could not take everything that belonged.
Our lives are only momentarily disrupted
By a beast that raged and peace interrupted.
We have each other and we have love,
We have hearts full of memories and help from above.
Those things, the fire could not steal,
And together, our pain will begin to heal.
We will rebuild, we will overcome
Our lives will not be left undone.
