When it Rains...

When it rains the Earth is throwing a tantrum.

When she fights, kicks and screams, her tears

become our rain.

When she stomps her feet make the ground tremble

becoming our thunder.

When she gets brilliant ideas her face lights up

becoming our lightning.

When she does get mad though,

the plants are dancing,

grass is shimmering,

trees are playing,

flashlights are flickering,

and friends are laughing.


Then if you are real still, you can hear

the flowers singing,

the drums beating,

the wind whispering,

and little babies crying

to their mothers for comfort.


So next time it begins to rain

just know that the Earth is throwing a tantrum,

know it will be over soon,

know all is fine,

and know that you will be safe forever under her protection.
