A Rainy Day

A Rainy Day
Dr. James E. Martin
©May, 2013

The raindrops continue to fall,
Stirring emotions in one and all.
To some it is gloom and deep despair,
To others however it is joy everywhere.

The raindrops have a musical, pleasant sound
As the melodies with intensity abounds.
There seems no end to this moment of bliss
Soon we will reflect on all of this.

Instead of complaining about the rain
And living in your own self imposed pain,
Why not reflect on the blessing therein
And not yield to a negative spin?
