Little Rain Dancer

Little Rain Dancer
By Dalene Deale-Rowe

With the soft pitter patter
Of the raindrops outside
A little girl emerges
From her place where she hides

With long blonde hair
And dirty little feet
I know she lives quite close
On the other side of the street

She looks a little bewildered 
I wouldn’t describe it as scared
More like she has seen a lot
But not many have cared

She loves coming out 
When the sky pours down
That’s when you’ll see her smile
When she hides away her frown

How I love to watch
As she dances in the rain
It’s as if only heaven’s water
Can wash away her pain

I wish that I could hug her
Or maybe just hold her hand
To give her love and cuddles
And tell her I understand

I too have my corner
Where I like to hide
But not even getting wet
Would keep me inside

Seeing this little rain dancer
With no care of who can see
Is my version heavenly raindrops
That makes me smile and sets me free
