Changes

This was written because of the storm we recently had! Although it was as severe as Hurricane Sandy, the wind did blow, rain pelted down and it was cold.... still is cold.

Changes

I woke up to a sunny day,

soon it turned gloomy & gray

I hunkered down in my cozy home

as I heard the storm

begin to thunder & clash

The wind blew hard

as the rain came down

I wasn't sure if my place

would stay aground

Many thoughts ran through

my brain that day

could this raging storm

be the death of me

Loving life- so much left to do

is it possible for me

to survive this rage

mother nature has come to pay

just as I thought

my life was over

it became quiet as a mouse

with the passing of the storm

I was blessed

to live one more day!

A wonderful lesson there... that nothing lasts forever, including the bad times or pain. Nicely done.

I’ve had those days, sunny and bright then gloomy & gray and then to top it, rain, but then it depends on how you look at it, one way or another you got to face that storm.
Great job!

Your thoughts bring to mind how we may all feel at sometime during a storm no matter what part of our country we live. Could be hurricane, wind & rain or snow storm & hope we make it through with no destruction. Good write.
