The thunder roars so very loud
Then the rain comes down so hard
The wind blows so suddenly
The tornado is near you fear
You reach and cover your ears
Trying not to show how scared you are
All eyes are on you
And you smile to let them see
You are brave and you expect them to be
You have already explained
But you do it again
We are safe but ready
If things get bad
Jokes are told
And songs are sung
Till the last of the noise
Are no longer heard
Things are calmer
You made it fine
Till the next clap of thunder
The next storm comes by
Then the principle announces
Back to your safe place
You and the children dive
