The storm clouds thickened in the sky,

and raindrops splattered in my eyes. 

The wind shook even giant trees.

This was more than a summer breeze.

The waters rose, cities went dark. 

Hell, I considered building an ark.

Days went by, it finally passed.

Just when I thought I may not last.

I ventured out into the newfound sun.

Now that the drenching rain was done.

Mud and twigs as far as I can see, 

But no damage to my house or me.

Some did not fare as well as I.

Sadly, some even tragically died.

To His power, I’ll give a nod. 

That I survived, I do thank God!
