The day God saved Tampa Bay

The Day God Saved Tampa Bay
October 9, 2022
Richard Hosea

It was a bright and sunshiny  day with not a cloud in the sky,
Little did it seem like that a storm would turn in to be beautiful to the eye.
As I watched I saw the storm clouds rise in the west,
The beautiful day that should have been became what was not the best.

As the hours passed by the day became much darker
The rains came down in torrents so we could not see our marker.
On and on the rains came down from daylight on to darkness,
We wondered if we could withstand these hours of hardness.

Then the lights went out to add fear to our distress,
But we weathered the storm and to this I must confess.
We wondered if we would ever see sunshine again,
But the next day the storm was gone I knew we could attain.
