Rainy Day Thoughts Poem by Poison 9901

As I sit here and listen to the sounds of the constant falling water,
I hear my grandfather’s words echoing, The Devils beating his daughter

I hold my cup of coffee, I think of his warm touch
For he wasn’t here very long, and, I miss his wisdom so much

Rain drops falling softly, against my window pane
A brilliant flash of lighting, tells of the impeding rain
Thunder rolls, announcing the storms drawing nearer
The signs of the stormy day could not be any clearer

A flash of light, a crackling sound, followed by a boom,
Illuminating everything, as it suddenly shakes my room.
Just a small reminder of how vulnerable we really are,
As the echoes of the thunder roll from near too far

Rain begins to gather in shiny pools of gray,
As they rush to come together, then slowly fade away
Some are like a memory, forgotten thru the years,
Others seem to gather in little pools of tears.

Looking out my window I begin to reflect upon my life,
I think of mom and dad, my son, my daughter and my wife
Drawing from my memories thoughts of them on this rainy day,
Like drops of rain, each and individual, unique in every way

Take the time to sit and watch the beauty of the storm,
Don’t take your life so seriously, most times, were misinformed
Tell the people in your life, you love them each and every day,
Because like the passing thunder storm, to soon they’ll fade away
