Praying Ahead

I have smelled death,
For two whole days,
My fear is loud and real.

This scent is stuck in my head.

With imminent storms predicted,
Tornados, hail, and rain,
I meditate and pray.

Before I rest my sleepy head.

Lord keep us safe under your wing,
All through this dark night,
May we wake with the sun.

And enjoy the tomorrow ahead.
