pitter patter, pitter patter, rain drops fall    lightning strikes   the thunder rolls   wind howls   it's nipping in here   cold chills run my spine as the weather unfolds   darkness all around   only the light upon my desk shines   my kids sleep and i'm ready to crawl into bed    so why am i writing this moment   beats the hell out of me...one more day and i'm off for the weekend   too many things going, must slow down ...
