Why, and when?


Given what I have since learned,
I regret my all-too-human urge
To cast blame somewhere 
For the disaster at the Texas camp
Decimated by a flash flood.
Yet still I hold my sobbing daughter 
In my arms and mourn with her
Gazing out into the rain
As we weep together for children 
And parents everywhere:
Such cruel losses; hard to bear.
