THUNDERSTROM

 

My favourite type of weather
Is a thunderstorm for sure
Because when I'm at home
 I feel quite secure.

Also the smell of outdoors
While one is taking place
Is beautiful enough to put a smile on my face.

I love to watch the rain
strike some objects outside,
it is amazing to think
this miracle happens worldwide.

Another thing I love
Is feeling rain hit my skin
Little drops of heaven
Sinking to within.

I adore these storms
As they emerge from the sky
 The clouds getting darker
The wind whooshing by

Thunder and lightning
Rain coming down
Hitting the road
making a sound

As I stare out my window
and watch the rain fall by
I wonder what could have happened
To make God want to cry.
