Stormy Night 

Rain splatters my window pane

pushed on by this driving gale

a fierce black sky up above

lashing the house with its tail

howls heard from an angry wind

shaking all that`s in its path

bashing hard against this home

tonight we`re feeling God`s wrath

the land is lit by a flash

lightning streaks across the sky

thunder clashes from afar

heaven's vengeance from on high

trees are bent almost double

as this mighty storm rages on

leaving a trail of destruction

hoping by dawn the rain`s gone

my window pain now shudders

from the sheer force of the storm

I'll remain snuggled here inside

by the roaring fire so warm
