The rain behind the window pane
By bigpumpkin | December 2, 2008
When the view outside our windows start looking like this, Tee gets really worried and starts clinging onto me like a baby monkey. She has been terrified of thunder since forever and I tell her that it is only God warning the people and animals that it is about to rain thus they have to run for shelter!
It doesn’t work.
Because we live on a hill, every time we have a thunderstorm, our guardhouse gate goes bust. On several occasions, our electricity went bust and Tee almost had a heart attack.
But seriously, rain is a beautiful thing. As long as I’m not rushing from the car to a class with a kid in tow and 4 bags weighing 4 kilos each, without an umbrella.
It is raining again outside
And all the animals have to hide
As I stare out the window
I wonder if anyone knows
The name,
Of any single drop of rain.
Nameless rain,
Do you ever get lonely?
Nameless rain,
Whats your name?
The clouds have huddled above us
Sometimes they seem to follow us
And I sit here in vain Thinking of the rain,
Rolling down my window today.
Nameless rain,
Do you ever get lonely?
Is this a game you play?
To fall here everyday
Did you ever have a name?
Do you ever scream in pain?
Oh, nameless rain.
Are you cursed to fall forever?
For the crimes that you endeavored
If you washed us all away
Would you fall anyway?
Nameless rain,
Do you ever get lonely?
Nameless rain,
What really is your name?

No thunder or lightning in this part of the world. No rain too for that matter!

oh this is lovely
psst..ashley was also afraid of the rain, lightning and thunder. I just sing her the “Thunder Lightning” song (to the tune of Are You Sleeping”) and she’s not so afraid anymore
