A Sunny Day in a Storm

The rain was thrashing at the trees,
the wind was howling round.
Muddy torrents swept along
and flooded all the ground.

“Mum, Mum, can I go out to play?”
I heard my daughter say.
“You what?” I cried, “I don’t think so,”
“wait for a sunny day.”

“I can see the sun,” she said,
“It’s just behind the clouds.”
“Oh please Mum, let me, let me now,”
“why am I not allowed?”

“I give up.” I then replied
and shoved her through the door.
Alas, she tripped and fell into...
              a puddle on the floor!

She just looked up and laughed and laughed,
her face was filled with glee.
I wondered how I would have felt,
if she’d done that to me.

Then looking up I saw a ray,
the Sun peeped through the clouds
and looked at me as if to say,
”Well Mum……    am I allowed?”

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Rain, rain, please go away,
So the girl can go out to play.
There it is! ~ There's the sun!
Now she can play and have some fun!



A charming story.


Linda
