Calm and Peaceful With sky a stormy gray She stood and beheld The vibrant green Of the fields Which her homestead lay And in the distance She gazed upon A sea with rough and crashing wave Its once crystal waters Now churned angrily Sending forth a frothy white spray She standing on a cliff That was so far away Basked in the tranquility of the moment Not worrying what would happen soon, at any moment With a BOOM of thunder With a flash of lightning The storm began And her one special moment Was gone never to come back The once peaceful countryside Was torn asunder With this storms mighty blows And it was so hard to believe That just moments ago It had been such a different scene In which to observe And as the stormed raged on The girl watched the rain fall The thunder BOOM And the lightning call And she remembered those moments Those quiet ones And she treasured them She treasured them most of all
