There is a saying in this world
about how the Strong survive
But this is the story of Martha,
a saver of others' lives!
There was a little town, a
place of torrential rains
A calamity that had become
a constant source of pain!
Martha was a flower-seller
a girl with a beautiful heart
A girl who knew her way around
both kind and smart.
Little Billy was her child
a kid with a nose for trouble
Living with his mother in a
nice world in a nice little bubble!
A big forest on the outskirts
was where she got her flowers
Very fresh and beautifully grown
after those monster showers!
With a cheerful rhyme on her lips
and a face with a jovial grin
Selling flowers was no big deal
when hearts she could easily win!
But troubles even haunted her
her income barely enough
Sheilding Billy from her troubles
both big and rough!
One day while collecting flowers
an abnormal stillness gnawing
The missing animals and birds
were they a forewarning!
And then she realised
and then she knew
Another storm was coming
where the floods would renew!
She ran into town and
upto the Church spire
Ringing the bell madly
warning of something dire!
The busy people ignored the sign
just going about their routine
But Martha seemed terrified
for the coming clouds were seen!
Screaming hysterically
and pointing at the coming clouds
The towns attention finally
drawn to a great crashing sound!
Martha had thrown a statue
but the people knew why
For horribly dark clouds
were covering the sky!
Soon it was pouring on houses
with the people in safety
But an old woman was stuck
with Martha rushing swiftly!
To her aid no one came
as she battled the monster rains
Saving the life of the old woman
an effort totally insane!
After many hours of downpour
the old woman was seen
Clinging on to a roof where
a house had been!
But people saw a drowning Martha
her body drowning like lead
The thankless people did not go
fearing she might be dead!
The floods receded and people smiled
for the passing of the storm
But Little Billy with tears in his eyes
screamed,"WHERE IS MY MOM"!
