Matilda and Meadow cry

Matilda and Meadow cry when it rains
their father does not have to make them explain
the clouds streamed out buckets the day their mom died
the girls joined in and they cried and they cried
on days when its sunny the girls smile wide
their father expands as he fills up with pride
this family connects to the truth of the past
and stays in the present, knows weather won’t last
