i could take up this space.
giving and asking
the reasons why...
why i love alabama
why i love my city, the magic city
why this tragedy happened
why i feel so blessed today
i could tell you the story of how...
how i felt watching a tornado hover over downtown
how it felt to be on the phone with my little brother in tuscaloosa as we fearfully waited
or i could give you the what...
what on earth just happened?
what is to come for those who lost so much?
what have i heard about so-and-so
and then there's the who...
who do i know that lost their cars and homes
who do i know that can't be found
but the only thing that i can make sense of today is this:
that there is something
i can do.
i can't control the why, how, what, and who.
but i can do something now.
i can help my neighbor.
