Ode To Sandy

We first heard your name on the news last week,
Snow in October? Holy crap, it just makes me weep!
I didn’t want to think about snow just yet,
With an eye on the radar, I tried not to fret.
Oh yes, she’s coming, just you wait and see
I shook my head in disbelief thinking, how could this be?
You hit us hard, as you said you would,
We woke up to six inches of snow in the hood.
You are a girl of your word, I really must say
I was sure hoping things would be different today.
Without power and water, we packed all our stuff
And carrying it all up our snowy driveway, yes that was tough.
But we’re all safe and our house is intact,
We’re blessed beyond measure and that is a fact.
Prayers to those who have lost it all,
And also to those responding to calls.
Hoping tomorrow warms up and is free of snow
So, please Sandy, please just go!
