Oklahoma Will Rise Poem by Patricia Kelley

Oklahoma will rise
Love rises through Oklahoma skies.
Our love will rise pass the gray skies.
We will see Oklahoma clear blue skies.
God hears our brokenhearted cries.
He sees our sad eyes.
He sent His outstretched arms through the love of human kindness.
To let you know Oklahoma, you’re not covered by sheer blindness.
Oklahomans are timeless.
And there strong will, will never be silenced.
Their cries and prayers reach the steps of Heaven.
Where Oklahoma losses have been counted,
Including the Murrah federal building bombing that killed a 168.
Including the May 3,1999 tornado in which 36 lost their lives.
And including May 20,2013 where 24 new steps were added to Heaven.
God hears the cries of His people.
He sees His believers reaching pass the steeple.
To rebuild a stronger Oklahoma that sees pass gray skies.
Into bright blue clear Oklahoma skies,
Oklahoma, you will rise.
God hears your cries.
