Just The Rain

It's just the rain, he said
As she looked up at the sky
Seeing lightening start to strike
As the clouds went rolling by

He put her hands in his
They held each other tight
Never wanting to let go
Throughout the stormy night....

Many years went passing by
Some of tears and some of joy
One day she became his wife
And had a baby boy

Dad whats that, he asked
Feeling something on his head
He smiled down at his little son
It's just the rain, he said....

One night she wasn't home
He waited anxiously all night
Wondering what was going on
Wondered if she was alright

At 4 a.m. the phone rang
They said there had been a crash
Nobody saw it coming
It had happened in a flash...

Standing by a casket
He held his young boy's hand
"Where's mom" he asked
He was too young to understand

Dad why are your eyes wet?
The little boy looked up and said
He quickly wiped the tears away
It's just the rain, he said
