You Never Know What a Storm Can Bring

I watched as the clouds gathered overhead, And the setting sun turned bloody red. The wind started picking up a might, Looks like we’re in for a sleepless night. Tumbleweeds were flying by, Piling themselves in piles reaching upwards for the sky. The animals were all hunkering down, With lightning striking all around. I saw a tree go up in smoke and flames, Extinguished quickly by the pouring rains that came. The winds were howling as the rain fell hard, A candle lit table I sit playing cards. I got up and stoked the fire a might Watching the embers dance in the darkness of the night. The fire felt good for I had gotten wet outside, Looking for my dog, darn his ornery hide. As we both stood by the fire to warm, I enjoyed this little fellows company, I called him my lucky charm. I pitched us a pallet there on the floor, But my pup kept going to the door. I heard something whining outside so I got up to check, There on the porch a momma dog with puppies oh what the heck! Well my pallet got full that cold and rainy night, Full of playful puppies oh what a sight!
