A tropical storm
Starts to rear its ugly head
As the coast
It starts to pound
The squalls start coming on shore
The rain starts pouring down
The waves get huge
And wash away the beach slowly but surely

It moves inland
Causing destruction in its wake
The winds topple trees
And damage houses
The power is knocked out
People are in darkness
Lighting their candles
As they hear the wind howl

By morning the storm is gone
But the destruction it caused
Is still left behind
The people start to clean
And put their lives back together
The best they can

Cold hands means a warm heart

I have a friend who just left for Florida today....is this the kind of weather she's in for? Oh my goodness...what a vacation!
Poor thing...and the wedding is supposed to be held outside. I can't wait to see the pictures...

Now that's a harsh storm.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
