Thunder, Thunder
The fierceness
The violent nature
It came and stayed
As we tried to sleep
Yet beauty surrounded
As music was played
Upon the windows and roof
The sound, there, to keep
The girls had awakened
The dog had cried out
It was 3 in the morning
Sleep? I was without
For the lightning, the thunder
With no intention at all
Had given my family
An early wake up call
So now 4 in my bed
I was hanging from the side
The thunder rolled on
My children, they cried
The dog was a shiver
My wife, damn, was asleep
I had a 9 a.m. meeting
I was hoping to keep
Before I had known it
We drifted to dreams
Away from the rainstorm
And the sound of kid’s screams
