Tornado Comes Toward Hospital
weird clouds in a calm sky
a tornado is spotted
children want to peek
its roaring toward us
many are hysterical
hospital hallway
lights go out silence
day turns ebony
alerts hit cellphones
uncomfortable
in my flimsy paper gown
next to wheelchairs
some run towards basement
non-ambulatory can't
I stay with my friends
two are panicking
two of us reassure them
we are in gods hands
tornado turns north
leaving these babies alone
sitting on dads lap
crazy crying now
great relief we are all safe
it missed hospital
