The Storm
Bang went the thunder, lightning flashed
rain pounding hard, surf hitting the sand with a crash
These are the sounds that I hear
Waking me up as dawn draws near
Wondering what today will bring
Not sure if I’ll even hear the birds sing
As I sit and wait for the coffee to brew
Thinking of all the things I should do
Sitting here listening to the sounds
Listening to Mother Nature as she abounds
Her noise is loud her flashes are bright
But here I sit with my coffee all wrapped up tight
I think Mother Nature has this day planned
She’s letting us all know life is grand
Don’t take anything for granted, you must know
And keep your eyes open for the next rainbow.
