The cold wind blew ferocious
Across the roofs of town
The lightning flashed across the sky
The rain just pelted down
Was nature in its fury
Unleashed without remorse
To bring death and destruction
Along its uncharted course
Man had no way to control it
But simply pray and wait
And hope his prayers were answered
And that storm to soon abate
It had come without a warning
Blew in across the bay
The only indication seen
Was sudden darkening of day
Then hit with all its fury
So many homes were wrecked
It had such awesome power
Treated nothing with respect
It lasted but a short time
Before it picked up pace
To continue on its mission
To rage in another place
Just as quickly as it started
The storm that all had feared
Did cease its awful rampage
And simply disappeared
No lightning flashed, no wind at all
Gone also was the rain
As people viewed the carnage
The skies turned blue again
So many homes were damaged
Number of lives lost
Would be such lengthy task
To estimate the cost
The cost of course was twofold
Because that storm it had arrived
The cost to people’s lives of course
And the cost to all who survived
It was a storm without warning
Like never seen before
And all the people prayed together
They would see the same no more
For all of man’s ability
In things he has extolled
He must forever then remember
Nature cannot be controlled
