The Darkest Night

The sun has set

The black skies arose

Wind blew hard

Dust storms grew and grew

A cloud of pure black let loose tears

I couldnt see anything

Lightning lit up the sky

So bright it looked like day

Thunder boomed...

Like bombs being dropped

The darkest night did dawn upon us

Lightning cracked-

I had to look away

People cried

I was forced to hide

On the darkest night of history

100 years ago to that day

A special anniversy stood

of the day a huge tornado

Swept our town away

Killing and wounding

That same very day

100 years in the future

A tornado once again destroyed our town

Killin few and wounding way to many

The darkest night

was swept upon us

it happened a little to quickly

The birds flew off

animals hid far away

and out of sight

Thunder shook my house

the rain grew thick

I couldnt see

Good lord I thought-

could it really be

Trees fell over

Debris flew all around

Lights went out

My family screamed

The night was not yet nearly over

The tornado touched down

the wind blew so hard

The tornado ran right straight

on the path it took

100 years before

it ran right through Albertville

My small little town...
