awake in early morn
the sun is bright
the sky is clear
this day will be warm

single cloud floats by
just a small one
a little wisp
a white slash in the blue sky

run, talk, laugh, play
thinking of stories
write poems
dont see the rain coming this way

first sun, then rain
hide the books
put away the toys
but laughter rings out the same

storm grows fast
flash of lightning
clap of thunder
exciting times at last

yet as fun as rain storms can be
with puddle jumping
and slippery grass
it still can sometimes scare me

lightning starting fires
car crashes
power outs
falling electric wires

you never know what will happen during a storm
fun times
scary adventure
safer to stay inside and be warm
