Tears of Fire
Sun your presence is felt
Long sticky days and roads that melt
Your rays they burn into the land
Turning us back to sand
You take our water to the limit
The reservoirs dry with nothing in it
Fires burn the land so dry
Temperatures soar to record high
Your tears of fire flare our way
No spots this year, hotter they say
Cooler days we pray for soon
Eclipse your rays a blood red moon
Thunderous energy smacks the earth
Wondrous moments of our worth
More tears of fire you shed our way
It’s another day
