Boom, boom is all I hear outside.
There was a bright glow lighting up the sky.
Knowing myself I just want to cry.
I will curl up into my covers at my bedside.
I take in the sounds of a cannon firing.
I duck, I cover.
As silence fills the room I peek out from under my bedspread.
To my eyes they see another cannon ball striking upon the sky.
I look all around the dark gray eerie sky
with a beautiful light show filling up my big blue eyes.
The noise of the cannon halts and
the glow no longer strikes with faults.
I hear no sounds at all, thus no reason for me to bawl.
The intense storm has come to an end,
good night wishes I send to my family and friends.
