Unexpected event


It was just a normal day; I woke up got dressed, The usual you know. Send my kid to school I head to work; Check the weather before I go, It says it could rain so i grab my umbrella as I walk out the door. Next thing I know; "EVERYONE FIND SHELTER" I hear the people panicking, And my ears are ringing from the alarms blaring. They say it's an F5 tornado, So I find shelter and pray, After awhile everything is calm and ok. Well; it was calm on the inside; Outside everythings been destroyed, I hear the people crying, Houses collapsed people yelling; "HELP, my child is dying" CHILD!; oh Lord please let mine be safe, I get a call and tears start rolling down my face. My house demolished, My child they say is dead, And the words I love you weren't the last words I said. Everythings gone wrong and I start to vent, On how my normal day has turned into an unexpected event.
