An Afternoon Storm

I can hear the roaring of the thunder
As rain whips upon the window pane
Lightning flashes across the skyway
From the sky comes the falling rain

A mighty clap of thunder we can hear
Storm clouds ride low in the darken sky
Puddles of water form on the highway
Where just a few minutes ago was dry

As the storm passes to the East of us
Rumbling sounds can be faintly heard
Without heavy winds with this storm
Only rain has made leaves to be stirred

God knows why he gave us all this rain
It is needed to make all our crops grow
It also cooled what has been a hot day
Still I am very happy to see the storm go
