As the rain poured down
Striking the cement with each drop
I look around
finding what we perceive
As familiar things
The old house that I had seen so many times before
That had filled me with happiness
Now the paint has worn and peeled off
Swept away by the wind, and rain
When I ran in Mom and Dad would have smiled
Greeted me home
The old tree that was once a pair
One symbolizes you and the other, your sister...
My parents laughed and mused about
Those trees that the rain
Tried so hard to grow
One no longer lives
and the other lost its companion
The sky cried
His tears washed away the final remains
Of the tree that was cut to give way for the sunlight
The same flowers bloomed
Bright and yellow
Only thing that hasn't changed
Throughout the years
The sun rose up
Once again, blinding me
As the birds sang a happy tune
Completely indifferent
To the change
That changes most
And everyone around
Things change
They change so much you cannot bear it
