The Angry Sea

THE ANGRY SEA

The eye of the storm is lurking at sea
Is it Gustav or Hanna waiting to be?

The angry waves ravage the coast
The people must leave
Without any hope.

The stronger the storm
The darker the night.
When all hope seems dim
Its time to take flight.

When all hope seems lost
When our dreams seem to falter
Lest we forget to
Turn to the alter.

Our Lord and our God
To you do we plead,
We love you our Father
It’s you that we need.

Don’t let us forget
 to thank you dear Lord
You don’t send the storm
It’s of one accord.

We pray the sun will rise again,
The storm will pass 
We’ll see our friend.
The ocean will calm
The sky will be blue
We love you dear Lord
We’ll always be true.

This is a wonderful poem. I like the testament and your glorious words. Keep Him in your thoughts and keep looking up to Him. He will always be there to provide comfort in times of a raging storm. Great job and welcome to Poetry Soup! ~Joseph
