A Little Rain
Everything is wet or damp
After last night's thunder storm
We've had rain and storms off and on
Never know when another will form
Reminds me of years in the past
Babies in diapers still
No sunshine to dry them after the wash
Even on the window sill
The furnace's pilot light helped some
Clothes upon a wooden rack
Waiting to be folded and put away
Some ironed in mending stack
Life has changed through the many years
An electric dryer hums
But the birds still sing in the morn
Spring into summer comes
This wet spring a pleasant delight
The dripping of spring rain
Doves' coos seem more intense and long
Roosters' crows echo again
The swallow has been joined in flight's dance
By another for the past few days
The young must be fed some fresh bugs
Thank goodness the bugs don't stay
