Thunder knocks on my door as I curl up under my blanket

Heavy rain showers my creaky, old windows

Everyone lays on the floor until the carpet is no longer seen

Rough winds shake the house left and right

A thought of fear strikes the minds of children as they wine to their parents

I think about yesterday when it was bright outside and the sun shined on my face

Not knowing that the next day would be dark and cold like the snow of winter

Yesterday was warm and the air stuck to my skin like honey but

Daylight has disappeared into the eye of this storm

And I reach for the hands of my parents and snuggle into their arms

Yet I can’t help but wonder “Where did the sun go?”
