The Falling Rain

Rain was there when our lips first met

soft and smooth but sopping wet



Eyes shut tight, hearts open wide

rushing forward like an ocean's tide



Into a mighty and powerful love

flying throughout the sky above



Seeing into each others souls

like lover's little peep holes



Our love grew like a weed

and that love is now all we need



To stay together forever and more

used to mean just for better but that was before



For better and worse

could sound like a curse



To one who does not know its course

in life love does not force



There is alot to contemplate

but with him is my fate



To make forever sound real

putting together what we feel



Into a collage full of its goods and bads

and all of its happies and sads



Every triumph and tragedy they had

no matter what they never went to bed mad



Looking back to all that they had gone through

She knew she had a full life with you



Her first love was her last

but that doesn't mean they went too fast



In time their lives got so messy divorce came to mind

then she eyed her wedding band and realized that was their bind



That was the only thing keeping them with one another

but the one who got into their heads and made them remember, was her brother



Made them remember the good old days

defusing fights through so many ways



From tapping him in the chest with a spatula

to usin' that classic Texas accent by sayin' spectacula



When they finally reconciled rain was there

front and center, thoroughly wetting their hair



They came together

in this cloudy weather



And now on their 50th year of being with one another

who had always been there, even more than her mother



Through all the joy and then all the pain

who was there, always, The Falling Rain...
