Nature's Celebration

"The storm was merely a party

I had nothing to fear from them

The guests were rather plentiful,

But I only counted ten.

"Little Lightning flashed,

Around the room with glee

To the pitter-patter of rain

And the echoes of the sea.

"Old Father Thunder roared

As rain dropped on his head

But this I only heard,

‘Cause I’m hiding under the bed.

"The entertainment began

As its custom at a party

Lady Wind danced along

To a song rich and hearty.

"The guests start to leave

And dawn is on her way,

To clean up the mess

The party made today.

"A storm is merely a party

So don’t worry about the noise

It’s nature celebrating life

And everything she enjoys."
