Hurricane

Hugo was a huge hurricane in Carolina
Unfortunately I was homeless then
Right then God being the designer 
Red shelter found with kind garbage man
I had a three month old baby boy
Cherry cries for he felt my fear
Angels seem to fill amber void
Needing grace God kept us near
Embrace of His hand so dear
