“She Smiled in the Rain”
She smiled in the rain
And laughed with the lightning
And danced as the thunder took its toll
She smiled through the pain
And never quit fighting
As the storm swallowed everything whole
She waltzed with the moon
Sashayed with the stars
And did a slow dance with the sun
She surfed a monsoon
Jumped all the way to Mars
And swore she would never be done
She dodged all the stones
And lay among flowers
And shattered the glass with her song
She felt it in her bones
And watched April showers
As she waited for the summer all night long
She pranced through the woods
And walked a thousand miles
And became the blue sky’s bride
But no one understood
That the reason she smiled
Was that nobody noticed when she cried.
