The Worse Of All Thieves

Topography beautiful for many miles

Horticultural landscaping with rosette smiles

Every approaching foliage more detailed

Wearing blossoms that pleased when you inhaled

Our house overlooked the valley below

Right above where the daffodils grow

So we can see all the lands around

Enjoy nature’s beauty all day long

One day and for the remaining week

Fire broke out just below the creek

And spread with gush like tornado winds

Lighting trees, houses, and large buildings

Looking at the destruction it left behind

This Fire was the worst thieve I’d ever find

How it took precious memories that can’t be replaced

It robbed value beyond time and space

Emergency teams worked through day and night

Victoriously battling the fire’s plight

Eden it once was but now society grieves  

Stolen landscape and memories by the worst of all thieves
