Nature's Way

A whirlwind you swept me off my feet, had me all dizzy Love blossomed like small buds turning into a beautiful lily We danced until drenched in warm April showers Our roots were as deep as oak trees, together we had power Nights we lay under the stars, wishing upon them Evening dogs walk down the river, the hidden gem We'd camp in fields of freshly cut green grass Strolls along the canal admiring the beauty so close Led us to beer gardens to enjoy a cold glass of wine Life looked perfect as a picture postcard enjoying family time You couldn't protect me from the pelting hail that day Such a force with nowhere to run, could not get away Then a long drought made cracks in the ground The lily started to wilt and the grass turned brown Thunder started to rumble and I got scared Down came the rain and it started to flood It just kept coming, it wouldn't stop pouring I struggled to breathe, felt I was drowning I held out my hand but you didn't take it, instead a hurricane Caused so much devastation, no choice but start over again
