The tensions rise rapidly on the days leading up to the fierce storm
People rushing all the stores for food and gas like bees in a swarm
With no one knowing for sure just where the fierce storm would land
The only thing for sure is everyone’s hope was this killer would disband
Our wishes were not honored and the storm’s damage was severe and real
Power and food were non existent therefore you had to hunt hard for a meal
Generators were making electricity at homes throughout the state
But as everyone found out without gasoline electricity it could not make
People spent their days seeking gas and food for their family to eat
And at night sleeping as best they could in the sweltering Florida heat
One group of heroes were the linemen working tirelessly nonstop day and night
Bless God for Law Enforcement risking life while keeping things out there right
While we all saw a few bad apples taking advantage of others hard times
Their day will come when they have to answer severely for their life of crimes
So now that things are getting back to everyday life and things back to the norm
We can all sit back and grab a cold beer and enjoy the calm after the storm
From My World To Yours,
