The thunder in the distance

Reminds me of your voice

From which I cannot hide

It stirs my heart and warms me

As you call to me to come

And walk along your side

The sound of raindrops falling

Striking the tin roof hard

The splash and pitter patter

Comes quick and hard in torrents

Yet it’s somehow gentle and soothing

Reminding me of our chatter

The wind swirling around me

And rustling through the leaves

Blowing my hair around my face

Stirs up memories inside me

Of evenings spent together

And days that were care free

As night falls and the moon rises

The sky clear once more

The chill I feel in the air

As I draw the blanket nearer

Your arms enfold me once again

No one has ever held me dearer
