Hurricane Baby – James Alexander   Leave a comment

Born In The Eye Of The Storm

What better place to be than the Texas Medical Center during a hurricane.  Arriving about the time the eye of hurricane Ike was passing over head, James Alexander will grow up with people sharing “Where were you during hurricane Ike?” stories.

Born In The Eye Of The Storm

A storm in the Gulf
Satellite views as big as Texas
On a track for Galveston
Strong winds of medium strength
Pushing a wall of sea water

People boarding up windows
Placing valuable in cars
Preparing to run from the storm
Others preparing to shelter-in-place,
Hoping the storm will turn away

Outer bands begin coming a shore
Bring
ing water from the sky and the Gulf
Providing a taste of things to come
As cars head north, one is headed south
With baby to be born

Arriving at the Medical Center
The delivery process begins
Outside the winds gain strength
Choreographed with mother’s labor
Moving toward a crescendo of life

Suddenly, there is peace and calm
As a baby is born in the eye of the storm
A prince of strength – symbol of the storm
A prince of peace – symbol of the eye
Forever in the eye of the storm.
