Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

What is it about the rain?

That makes us feel brand new

It seems to take away our pain

At least for me, I don’t know about you

The rain brings renewal

Rejuvenates everything around us

The grass becomes an emerald jewel

Sloppy with mud, but not a big fuss

Watching water trickle down the windshield

Don’t we all love a carwash for free?

It brings the freedom of an empty field

That has to be a favorite for me

The rain itself is so life giving

Keeping our plants lush and green

Rain makes a life worth living

When it comes down hard I’m always keen

The rain cools us down

Keeps us all calm and mellow

It takes away my frown

Blocked out, the sky without yellow

We all need a good splash

Looking for just the right puddle

Life passes in a flash

Spinning fast, it begins to muddle

The rain will keep us young

Feel the joy of a child

Forget the phone that rung

This storm is only mild

We stay in, but look out

Watch the gray colored sky

Have some time to pout

The clouds too, begin to cry

Put away the notebook

Head to the cinema for a show

Stay home and cook

It’s a day to relax and lie low

The covers are meant to stay under

Half pitter and half patter

Give me sun or give me thunder

I’ll be happy to take the latter

Water brings us change

It leaves us fresh and inspired

Given this wide range

It’s best to start and end the day tired

What will this day be?

Take some time to feel the moisture

Solid ground becomes like the sea

Open yourself up, be an oyster

Even the end will be fantastic

It’s worth the wait I know you know

Leaving us all quite ecstatic

Because after the rain comes the rainbow.
