Crying Rains

I held my Dear, whispering in her ear “There is nothing here to fear” Then I wiped her eye of the tear drops dry As the thunder rumbled near A flash of light made the bedroom bright Throwing shadows on the wall She held me tight all the stormy night Trembling through it all Her bed is small but inside I crawled To protect her from the storm I rested my head near the top of her bed With the comforter keeping us warm Now that Spring has sprung the rains have begun And thunder claps almost every day My poor darling daughter, her eyes start to water It was storming when her Mom passed away Now every time it rains she relives the pains Of telling her Mom good-bye I do my best to get her through each test But sometimes I must join in the cry
