Spring Storm

It was a springtime drippy day As I went about my chores I thought it would only sprinkle Not like ocean waves on shore But that wasn’t how it happened For as I carried my grocery bags Those swollen clouds above Began to weep and sag And then the lightening flashed It lit my darkened world Wind picked up and blew hard Amongst it black clouds swirled Puddles of water gathered Everywhere that I went I knew that nothing would change Until the storm was spent But you know, it’s okay, it really is Vegetation needs moisture you know It’s spring and that’s what happens For lovely spring flowers to grow!
