Heaven Sent the Rain

33

Heaven sent the rain

The day that I met you

Weather, hot and sticky

My dress, knee length and blue

Wind swept through the pine trees

Lightning lit the sky

Sparking electricity

Between your heart and mine

Quietly you spoke to me

Tears of joy would flow

Our love would blossom through the fall

And bring us marriage vows

Not many years would follow

A child, a house; our home

When fall would be the season

Your body lost its soul

From the threshold of our home

Where you’d carried me, your bride

I’d pass through, now a widow

To the rain that fell outside

The drops mixed with my tears

And fell on golden leaves

As I crushed them underneath my steps

Trembling and bereaved

Heaven sent the rain

The day I buried you

My dress, knee length and black

My heart stricken and blue

Several years would pass

But still my dress the same

Grief, full length and black

Clothed me every day

Then one day, hot and sticky

Rain would bring relief

When showers washed upon my heart

And took with it the grief

I can still recall that day

The electricity

A rainbow stretching ’cross the sky

Reaching endlessly

Each drop like diamonds glistening

The sun would ’luminate

My dress, her golden raiment

As my tears mixed with the rain

Heaven sent the rain

The day I said goodbye

And let you from my grasp

So we were both set free to fly
