"God grant them grace today who mudslides face / And may he keep eccentric poets dry / At least I have a place of quiet grace / Content beneath a discontented sky"

*Content Beneath a Discontented Sky* *I thought that we had gotten through the rain* *In southern California where the sun* *Had teased a little while with winking smile* *But now it has started to rain again* *Another round of mudslides has begun* *And we will have to hunker down awhile* *This old house has come through many a storm* *Nor is there any mud to slide where I* *Just write my sonnets and try to keep warm* *Curled up with my cat and watching the sky* *Through old lace curtains here in my front room* *And though the sky grows dark there is no gloom* *Inside of me as spring begins to sprout* *Within as the torrents begin without* *I will stay right here I will have no fear* *And when this is over I will go out* *To go and buy more apples at the store* *God grant them grace today who mudslides face* *And may he keep eccentric poets dry* *At least I have a place of quiet grace* *Content beneath a discontented sky* *I will not float away today but if I do* *I will ride the tide to float all the way to you* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV Silke LLC*

Steven,

Stay safe out there. We've just been placed under a severe thunderstorm watch here in North Texas, your weather is coming this way.

Excellent write
