My brother, Tim, said AWESOME!
Are you afraid of lightning?
It is a sight to see.
Of course you go inside, you know
don't stand out by a tree.

There comes a FLASH and BOOM!
The sound is thunder.
Will the lightning come again?
I wait, I wonder.



Then for a moment night is gone
and it's as bright as day.
I ask, "Will it hurt us?"
You say, "We're okay."

My brother, Tim, said "Awesome!"
Then we went to my room
and watched out of the window there
a stormy night in June.
