Raindrops on the window,
A storm’s moving in.
Sound of thunder rolls low
Deep beneath the wind.
The lighting flashes
Through the darkness of the night.
The hail thrashes,
Fills the deer’s heart with fright.
Quietly in the corner sits a little girl
Hoping for calm to appear.
All the pain in the world
Is no greater than her fear.
*Inspired by lyrics in Garth Brooks’ “Thunder Rolls.”
