Poem Title:
Poem
It was just an ordinary day, Until the sky turned black. People going on their way, Concern for the weather, they lack. Weather bulletins given little thought, We proceed forth with the agenda at hand. Never imagining to our safe lives would be wrought, Such destruction to our land. Suddenly there was great wind, The hail and rain did fall. Tornadoes from the air descend, Their wrath revealed to all. Everywhere chaos broke out, In peoples hearts terror reigned. Our very lives were turned and tossed about, Fear we did not feign. Lives were injured and lost, Bringing such sadness and void. Material things wildly were tossed, Homes and businesses destroyed. Peoples lives forever changed, In the twinkle of an eye. Never again to be the same, Due to dark clouds in the sky. This too we shall rise above, And peace we’ll have again. Our communities that we so love, Support and help we’ll send. Tho we don’t understand why this fate we met, Or it’s purpose for our life. There’s a lot of work to do just yet, And task that add to the strife. Much brighter days ahead will be, And will help to erase this painful time. We’ll look back on this day with a solemn memory, Homes and businesses rebuilt, our lives will again be fine. Bulletins we’ll more seriously take, With a new respect you’ll see. Slow decisions we won’t dare to make, Tornado warnings we will heed. Another lesson we’ve learned from this, As we go out for the day. Leave your loved ones with words of love and a kiss, And for their safety always pray.
