Running In the Rain

The sun was nowhere in sight… All of our wonderful might Has deserted us out of the blue Our hope was as fresh as dew The sky was overcast There were hardly any stars, twinkling so fast The moon was shining all night long And the wind rustled along The breeze was whistling a pleasant song The rain was cold as ice It hit our skin…our kin paid the price We should’ve worn a hat Who would’ve thought of that? We ran in the sheets of rain With our dog by our side We ran merrily around the block, we couldn’t refrain From having a good time – no need to hide No need to hide, For our joy hasn’t dried The concrete was wet with sorrow We ran with smiles caked on our soaked faces The green grass was glistening with gratitude – imagine if it rained tomorrow? The sun never showed up…we were expecting it Like a special visitor, keeping us company The pitiful clouds pushed it away…where is it? Where is it now? The sky wasn’t blue like the gracious sea But, it was as black as a mysterious crow The moon was shining up above The soft rains reigned upon California, who would’ve known There was a thing called love That saved us from being used as a mat Don’t soak in the guilt, We’re running in the rain – we’re well-built
