THE WIND

A howling wind makes the trees sway
For it is sure very windy outside today 
I watch as the clouds roll quickly by 
The poor birds finding it difficult to fly 

This wind makes my windows shake 
Going outside would be a big mistake 
Instead I sit safely in my living room chair 
Grateful and thankful I'm not out there 

How I wish the wind would settle down
Causing devastation and havoc in my town
Longing once more for quietness and still
As another gusty blast with a wintry chill
