I expected rain that day so
I dressed up for it and
even brought my umbrella which
was unusual for me because
it rains so often here that
I hardly care about a splash or two but
that day I brought an umbrella to school and
I won't forget that morning around 8 o'clock when
I was sure it would rain and
the sky would come crashing down with
thunder to deafen and
lightning to blind but
it was all quiet all day just
an overcast dim grey sky which
blocked any hope of any
bit of sun that tried to make it seem like day and
my umbrella sat in my locker while
all that day thunder pounded my head and
a lightning strike seemed to have shattered my heart and
my eyes flooded over tracing rivers on my cheeks and
I just really wished it would rain
