It's Monday It's Raining

" And God called the light day and called the darkness night and there was evening and there was morning one day" (Genesis) That one day was Monday for on the seventh day God rested and we called it Sunday so it was, so it is Mondays come and go...as do we, we are born on our first day come to rest on our last rains fall from Heaven's clouds so to do they fall from eyes each is a birth, each is a death to find a gray Monday gives no time to escape it is the beginning of time as we measure it and if the sun shines on Monday the eyes will smile our burdens will feel lighter the night wears a more peaceful sleep for in the ancient mist of our soul we know morning was born on the first day and Monday is the first day rainy Mondays may seem gloomy but our spirits will never cry for without Monday, there is no life no clouds to fill with rain no eyes to overflow no gray days to remember 2/19/18 contest Rainy days and Mondays

wow, I love this, Frederic! One of the best I have seen. (when I post mine, you will see how weak it is compared to yours!) By the way, I was born on Monday. I love that I was!! (and it was on Labor day. haha)
