Mr. God's Trombones
Don't let the thunder worry you.
It's only Mr. God's trombones.
He needs a field to run into.
His field is the sky.
He's got a wide, gray football field
filled up with pretty clouds today.
You'll never wash the dark clouds
down with tears.
Don't try.
Don't let the thunder worry you.
It's only Mr. God's trombones.
Wash your face in the smile.
Use the summer for your makeup.

I created this video using Rod McKuen's poem, "Mr. God's Trombones" and a BBC documentary called "Lightning".
