Patter Patter

Oh what a clatter

as rain falls on the rooftop

smiles exchanged

making each other our everything

but as thunder sounds I hear my heart drop!

Balls of light falling from the sky

the rage of the storm outside

and while I wanted to curl up and hide,

it was time to head home

Scared cries

wishing for lullabies

to drown out the sky's strikes in bowling
