They had to start all over again-
Thanks to the big fire and wind.
.
It started in the forest and then it spread-
No one could have know what was up ahead.
.
The brave firefighters and the volunteers worked
so hard-
Trying to put out that fire, trying to stay on guard.
.
For weeks the fire raged, and did not stall-
Taking down complete homes and the trees
that were so tall.
.
Mother Nature had dealt a bad hand-
Striking much and many all throughout
the land.
.
And, then came the day when it was finally
put out-
With tired working souls, and many homeless
without a doubt.
.
They had to start all over again-
Thanks to the big fire and wind.
