The sound of the wind blowing outside startled me,
we had a chance to leave.
My family and I decided to stick it out,
but little did we know.
The storm outside was violent,
and we never thought about how bad this would be.
The first thing to go was the electric,
then the stove.
All food was slowly thawing.
Outside things grew worse.
Through our bordered up windows we could see black.
The thunder sounded beautiful and so did the rain.
During the night,
asleep in my bed,
I felt water next to me.
I was waste deep in water,
tredging up the stairs for higher ground
everything I worked so for now was ruined.
As I sat holding my love,
The hardest thing for us was,seeing a picture of our family float by.
The water rising now up to our chins,
We knew we'd never make it.
The storm was over,
and copters flew,
we knew we needed to escape.
We swam to the window and climbed out on the roof.
Look for help and praying for safety,
we realized this was the end,
Just then a boat pulled next to our roof.
Took us to salvation.
We were thrown out.
