After the Storm

I’m sitting in a patch of sun

And kind of taking stock,

Feeling lucky after hearing

Of so many still in shock.


Homes destroyed by a tornado,

People stranded on the road,

Cancellations of events

As rivers filled and overflowed.


All my kith and kin are safe, with just

Some minor floods to clean,

Nothing like the damage suffered

In the videos I’ve seen.


As for me, I’m disappointed;

Grandkids should be on their way

With their parents for a visit,

But it won’t take place today.


Still, tomorrow they’ll be coming;

Got my toes and fingers crossed

And right now it’s cool and sunny

So the day will not be lost.
