A Month

It has been raining and storming a lot here lately. I guess the weather seems to reflect both mine and Mike's moods. It's been a rough couple days but I am not quite sure why. Why just the past couple days? Why so hard? I guess the simplest answer is, it has been a month since we came home. A month. It seems like forever but yet it seems like it went quickly. At least we can say a month has gone by so now we are a month closer. But how many more months need to go by? How much longer do we need to wait? While we wait, I turn toward my writing. It lets me get my thoughts and feelings out. The following is a poem that I wrote brought about by the rain. It was written to my baby boy, Colby.
