Sunshinethunder

The sun burning bright,across clear blue sky
The lightning so bright,it blinds the eye.
Not a cloud floating by,in a sky so blue;
Do you hear the thunder rumbling through?
Grass,flowers,and trees smile at the sun;
Gray ominous clouds across the earth do run.
Eagles fly higher on a clear summers'day;
The rain and the wind wash their nest away.
Birds and bees in the sunshine will forage,
Dams were made as a thunderstorms' storage.
Jet black clouds crying tears of lifes'pain.
In the east the sun rises starts over again
Graveyards are weeping as the storm subsides
New dawn brings sunshine,rays be our guides.
Rain becomes sprinkles,spots on the ground;
No more rain,grass and leaves turning brown.
Thunder and lightning,a soft summers'rain;
Blue skies,warm sunshine is all that remain.
Sun and water don't you know,Rainbow Rainbow

I am glad that I chose this one to read this morning...This was the year of the rainbow...We haven't seen one in years and this summer we saw a double one..Summer is an unpredictable lady with maybe rain or not...But those rainbows are even less predictable...Thanks for stopping by my blog ...I am trying to think that I am some better..I am not crying in my sleep from the pain..I am able to get up and stand without being in the worst pain...I am not well but I have hope..Our son is depressed..SK
