Raven
There was a girl whose name was Meek
Always sunny she turned the other cheek
Her father Harold was a low profile man
Her mother died early when she was ten.
To her father she was the pride and joy
But no one knows the destiny's ploy
In viscous storm of 1987
She stepped out to street to find a dead raven.
The day was shivering in lightening hurls
She stooped and covered the bird with curls
There was in distance a grumble heard
Her paltry house caved in the world was blurred.
Next day her neighbors came to see
What happened to Meek and her father
They saw a mangled raven under debris
And there was not a soul or other.
But they felt the sunshine grace
After the nights of rainy spell
In the village of Ambersace
Where heaven always meets the hell.
