The rain falls like the pitter patter of children's feet as I lay down to sleep.
It is so comforting to hear that you almost want to go and play with them like it was yesteryear.
SNAP!
POP!
CRASH!
BOOM!
Back to reality.
2AM.
Got to go to work at 7.
Then you hear Mother Earth calling her children home but the battle wages on for hours until 6:30 thunders
by and the alarm gives no reprieve for the night of sleeplessness.
The new day has dawned with the children's tears not yet dried.
Can't go out and play.
