Struck By Lightning.

I looked at the dark gray sky,

And then I shouted "Oh my!"

Rain fell fast and hit the ground.

I heard a thundering sound.

I could see the lightning near,

I had to tremble with fear.

I saw a big lightning flash

And tried to make a mad dash.

A tree was not in plain sight

On this dark and rainy night.

I felt a very cold breeze

And was beginning to freeze.

I hoped someone could help me

Hide behind a poplar tree.

Next thing I happened to see

The lightning come toward me.

Then I heard the thunder roar.

The rain came down more and more.

Before I could find a tree,

The lightning struck lil ol me.

A friend saw me laying there

And knew I needed great care.

Taken to hospital room,

Away went my sadness, gloom.

Thankful for my good friend's turn,

The doctor treated each burn.

I was sent home the next day,

So grateful in every way.
