Rain

Large water drops splash on our windows in our house. The warmth of our cozy home is filled with the sent of lemon pie. Your happy face is the only thing I can remember of that day. And I wish it was the only thing I remembered. The day you went outside for a short drive for sugar, was the day you died. The rain poured heavily down, beating the roof of your car and our house. Our smiling faces waiting for our father to return. But never did your car pull up in front of our house. Never will we see your smile. Never did you see the way we cried when we learned that you died. Never did we eat the lemon pie. The rains cold drops of water now fall on our face as we visit your grave. It has been many years since that fateful day, and we still haven't picked up the shattered pieces of our lives. You always like the rain, but the rain took your life as your car slid out of control on that rainy day.
