THE STORM

The storm is incredible

With thunder and lighting

Decorating the sky

All animals running to their homes

While the family stays inside

All nice and warm

The children playing on the floor

The mother quilting

The father reading the paper

Soon a loud sound is heard

All around

The father gathers everyone in a small room

The house shakes

The roof lifts off

The children scream

While the parents hold on

All of the power is off

The roof gone

Wind circles around them

But they never let go

The house falling apart

Soon enough everything is quiet

Outside everything is gone

Whatever this was

It was quick

And ruined everything in its path
