If I Was Just a Lonely House Upon a Hill

If I Was Just a Lonely House Upon a Hill

 
If I was just
a lonely house 
upon a hill
I'd be very happy 
to have the sunshine
beam It's warmth 
upon my walls and on my roof
but the rain?
well that would depend 
on how hard it came down 
wouldn't it
after all
I'm a home and being pelted  
well, it would hurt wouldn't it?
then again hailstones are worse
lightning would cause me to
shake and shudder 
thunder, torturing my very soul 
I wouldn't mind a rainbow arch 
above my roof though
that would be comforting
and as we all know
without the rain 
we would never have a rainbow.

I wouldn’t mind having a rainbow either. Good comparison, Shirley. 
Metaphors are great. Happy writings. B
