Almost A Storm Poem by Audrey Heller

There was a storm approaching, it was
flashed across our tv screen. Warnings
were posted everywhere, far and wide
and in between. We all waited, but it
never did appear. For whatever the
reason, it never did get here. They
predicted a lot of rain, even some
flooding too. I'm so very grateful,
none of it came true. How lucky for
us, the last minute, it took another
turn. This gave me food for thought,
how much one could learn. To never
take things lightly, always be prepared.
With these odds, I'm certain, there's no
need to be scared. Now, I'm well aware,
of the things I must do. Which gives me
all the confidence, to ride any storm,
right through!
