10 Lines Five Words

I walk the path where
    leaves are strewn, and there
    beneath the trees, I hear
    the sound of footsteps near

    As you come into view
    your smile brightens the day
    And though skies are gray
    You bring sunshine my way

    As rain begins to fall
   We hear distant thunder call
                    --
