A Hushed Thunder Storm

The sound of thunder and the flash of a light Oh what a rainy and miserable night A child's cry from deep within The sound of rain on a roof of tin The fear of a child is visible on their face hiding under a blanket made of plushy lace The sad feeling consumes you as you gaze outside Sitting curled up as the news discusses a rising tide Mommy always has the best things to say Like don't be afraid baby there will be puddles the next day
