Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Why the Tears?

When I was young I'd wake at night

And hear the sound of rain outside.

The first time I was filled with fright,

But learned that Momma Nature cried.

I heard so from my Poppa who

Told me that her crying some rain,

Momma Nature would sometimes do.

Perhaps because she felt some pain,

Or maybe in a happy mood.

But either way her crying be

Just her way of keeping me clued

On sharing her feelings with me.

So every time it rains I try

To guess why Momma Nature does cry.
