Frightful Storms

Storms that frighten the heart Come in many varieties The swift, windblown storm Is fast and furious Very painful at first But later finding relief There’s the lightning storm Comes in quick as flash Damages a lot of area And pain continues on after The long hard storm Is still yet another It might slowly come in But once there Pounds with solid force Excruciating pain all over All during and all after The horror of such a storm Is its continuous hurt The pain never seems to cease All storms of the heart Come with terror All you can do against it Is to hope there is peace A calmness in the frightful storm Before it arrives Russell Sivey
