In the Face of Mother Nature.

When mother nature throws us her extremes,
Most flail, hide, or at least follow the advice of guidance…
Whilst she uproots/scorches/deluges all we know around us,
In her uncontrollable, destructive ~ though beautiful dance. 

Yet amongst us lies a minority of often unseen hero’s,
Those whom champion their determined grit above the rest,
Always there to bolster those of us left vulnerable,
In the face of Mother Natures more destructive types of quest.

They’re the one’s always to be found within the forefront,
Helping others when extreme elements come into play,
The backbone of most voluntary emergency services,
A vital part of our communities often overlooked in a way…

Thus let us all take a moment to acknowledge these everyday warriors,
Whom would be by our side should we ever be of their need,
Raring to their opportunity to lend their helping hand,
Be it by placing sandbags, clearing debris or organising a feed…

For in the face of Mother Nature we’re just like every other species,
Despite our ability to create so much polar to her natural,
Yet with those around ready to help all within in her path,
That truly can make us be perceived as just that little more impactful.
