I read a book today
It reminded me of you
It reminded me of happier days
Hot Nebraska nights filled my mind
The air always thick with humidity
Fresh cut grass scenting the air
The dark cloudless skies
Full of happy bright souls
Perfume mixing with the buzz of bees
Fireflies sailing above
I look to the sky
As thunder touches my heart
There you are smiling
A light rain begins wetting the fields
I run into the wheat listening
Laughter fills the air
I stand and watch you spinning
You called my name
It touches me deeply
I just watch you spin
You stopped and grinned
Grabbing my hands we ran
The mud splashed upon our skin
I jumped in each puddle giggling
You watched me
You always watched me
You were the watcher
Never leaving
You watch me still
I know you are there
The rain now pours upon me
I feel you in each drop
Pushing smiles from me
When thunder booms
I hear you speak
The frustration of distance
One day we will run
Run with the fireflies
They will light our path
When the sun greets us
The willows will shade us from the mighty
glare,
Lilies will be our walkway
Dragonflies will dance with the breeze
We will laugh again
It will fill our souls
The darkness will flee
There will be an eternity of smiles
Watch for me in the rain
I'll always find you
•Me and my mother had a great love of rain....
•She always told me thunder was a new life finding a home...
•I always thought it was someone finding their true love..
•It hits you like a boom, boom,boom, boom, and it never leaves even if the soul passes.
•The hard shaking rumble will always be with you, you just have to listen for the rumble...
•You always meet the ones you lost or let go upon the horizon..
•The whispers will guide you as they dance with the willows..
→This was my mother's favorite song.
