Notes About The Poem

A rainy day doesn't have to be dreary.

I Love the Rain

When the rain is really pouring down,
And the sky's overcast and grey,
I love how it freshens the streets of the town,
And watching the children play.

They chase each other and splash in the puddles,
Sail the seas in small paper boats,
Laughing, playing, running through the rain,
In their new brightly colored raincoats;

And nothing's quite like a nice warm bath,
After a walk in the rain.
Then I'll settle back with a hot cup of tea,
And watch it splash on my window pane.

The sound of the rain falling outside,
A nice cozy fire inside,
And I drift of to Dream Land,
With you here by my side.

Beautiful descriptiveness and rhyming in this piece. Somebody should add a great melody and make a viable song that would compete with so much other music already recorded.
