Sara Kendrick Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Danger In The Air

We're under a tornado watch until 1 today
The thunder now rolls, and the clouds are gray

The rat terrier is terrified of what is to come
She can't be comforted which is glum

I wish I could help her overcome her fear
She has a place in my heart very dear

I feel some fear as well because of danger
That could be lurking, so many lives endanger

Some places had flooding from these storms
There has been tornado to form

Dear Lord, help protect us today
Don't let there be loss of life, I pray

Continue to protect animals and property
I enjoy feeling Your presence as fatherly

Amen

Andrea Dietrich May 11, 2024 at 11:07 PM Great prayer, Sara. I know my home state Iowa had recent tornados and storms. It must be so scary! Sara Kendrick May 12, 2024 at 5:45 AM Andrea, Even lightning can cause some major damage at times so no storm should be considered lightly. I have seen it on the news how so many tornadoes have been reported and how some have touched down. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to comment. Sara K

Phyllis Babcock May 10, 2024 at 10:20 AM That would be a scary time and we get small tornadoes once in a while but nothing like you do. Nicely written. love phyl Sara Kendrick May 10, 2024 at 2:20 PM Phyllis, we have had about 4 to touch down in the county where I live that I can recall. Two of which were really bad and the other two not as bad. Lots of property damage but no injuries or death that I know of. Two of those did come close to where we were living. God protected us. Our son-in-law's brother was killed in one, one county below us. Sara K

Yann Rolland May 10, 2024 at 5:54 AM this is scary, never seen tornados, only a storm in Kentucky, i feel praying God is a good idea, thanks for the touching and delicate poem Sara Kendrick May 10, 2024 at 6:57 AM Yann, I have seen the end results of tornadoes. In the past two have come very close to our home but went around our homes both times. The devastation from one can be horrible and at times there are loss of life or injuries. Yes, God can protect us in those circumstances. Thank you for stopping by and taking time to comment. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar May 10, 2024 at 2:48 AM Thank the Lord, we have no tornados in Malta. But how well you describe that storm. Sara Kendrick May 10, 2024 at 6:58 AM I looked it up and it is rare to have a hurricane in your area, but it is not called a hurricane, so they say. Sara K Sara Kendrick May 10, 2024 at 5:07 AM Yes, Victor, not having tornadoes there is a good thing but since it is an island you probably have hurricanes to come through from time to time or do you. Thanks for the visit and taking time to comment. Sara K

Sotto Poet May 9, 2024 at 10:03 AM Dear Sara, A really moving poem! It conveys the anxiety and suspense of a storm watch superbly. You obviously want to make sure that everyone impacted by these storms is safe, not just yourself. Sara Kendrick May 9, 2024 at 4:41 PM It is so sad to hear of the loss and pain when one does touch down, Lasaad. So many have been affected this past week all over the USA. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Kim Rodrigues May 9, 2024 at 8:34 AM I pray along with you…Amen! As we blessed our breakfast Ilikewise prayed with my husband safety from the storm. Poor little terrier…hugs a way. Hugs ~ Kim Sara Kendrick May 9, 2024 at 4:40 PM I think it was worse on you up in that area of our state. We were hit this afternoon but not a bad storm just the lightning and thunder. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Daniel Henry Rodgers May 9, 2024 at 8:26 AM Dear Sara, What a powerful poem! It perfectly captures the tension and worry of a storm watch. The image of the terrified rat terrier is so relatable, and your desire to comfort her really shows the depth of your love. It's clear you care not just for your own safety but for everyone affected by these storms. The closing prayer is beautiful and heartfelt. It leaves me with a sense of hope and faith in the face of danger. - Blessings, Daniel Sara Kendrick May 9, 2024 at 4:38 PM Daniel, It wasn't as bad for us today as it was for some areas where tornadoes touched down. In north Georgia one touched down last night (if I am not mistaken). It moved down to our area during the morning and afternoon. We are still expecting more tonight and into Friday. I don't think the threat will be as bad though. Thanks for the visit. Sara
