Poetry
I hear the approaching storm,
And see clouds start to form;
As to what was in my view,
It looked as a big one to brew.
Rumble of thunder to be heard,
As if stampede of a cattle herd;
Getting louder as a flash of light,
Streaking across caught my sight.
Crackling noise seeing a bolt hit,
As if a mad dog that took a bit;
Charging down into the ground,
Leaving me nearly spellbound.
Clutching hand in hand to pray,
I asked our Father not to display;
Awesome power a plea to cease,
So that our minds can have peace.
Lightning suddenly faded away,
Because God had told it to obey;
The same of thunder to diminish,
Since God commanded it to abolish.

God does hear our prayers, and He knows the fear we feel at times, especially during storms. The storm he calmed for His disciples was not the only storm He has calmed, was it? I was blessed in reading this. Thanks. Thomas
