The rain beats down
Upon the window.

The rain beats down
Upon the roof.

I lay in bed silently
Listening to the rain upon the tin roof.
Watching the rain fall on the glass window.

I am at peace.

I am home.

Sausage and eggs are cooking downstairs.
She's awake.

I slip out of bed
And tiptoe across the hall.

I dash downstairs,
And I see her.
My Grandmother.
On her farm.

I may only visit a few times a year,
But this has been and always will be home for me.

The rain continues.

So reassuring.
So comforting.

This is my home.
