Save Oklahoma Children Poem by Patricia Kelley

You ask me, why do I live in tornado alley?
I announce that I like living in the heartland valley.
Because, when it comes to Christian faith, we can really rally.
We don’t have to worry about those that don’t understand.
Because when it really matters, we take a stand.
Celebrating our Christian heritage; inherited by our many Fathers.
We know what true faith is surrounded by our praying mothers.
We take our sisters hand.
And loudly pray for our blessed land.
We are Oklahomans taking a firm stand.
Praying for Oklahoma’s school children,
We know that their faces are reflected in the eyes of angels.
We can see it in their innocent faces.
It’s now time that Oklahomans face the changes.
We are a state that requires guarded protection.
When the strong winds come, we have better meteorologist detection.
But, it’s our duty as part of a Christian nation.
To protect the frail that comes with the changing ages.
You ask me how, can we meet the needs of the people.
I say, build more tornado shelters.
So our kids grow-up respecting their elders.
Instructing a child to cover their heads with their arms is not enough, when they hear the loud alarm.
It is our duty to protect them from harm.
Oklahomans need to see the cause.
And stop the long pause.
You donate money to other countries.
While children are dying in your own country!
Before, we see more deaths in our state.
Before it’s too late!
Save Oklahoma Children.
They’re our gift from Almighty God.
Please build the tornado shelters for Oklahoma schools.
You have all the tools.
Quit spending money foolishly like fools.
And spend money on what really matters.
Before more lives are shattered!
Spend your money on Oklahoma children.
And, please save our children.
