The nature of rain

The tears from heaven were falling
Huge rain drops kept tumbling down
The sound they made upon the roof: scary
My little grand daughter was suddenly afraid
Inside her home she never heard them
Well insulated, protected and unafraid...
It was only here in my humble abode
That she was truly frightened: crying
The sound was something...
Of which to be dismayed
Though we picked her up and cuddled
Though we tried to ease her fears...
To a little child: how do you explain it?
How to express that nature is so made...
