My Boy In the Rain

He stood near the window pane Watching the rain... I wanted to stand out there, With no wet hair, The rainbow beckoned to me, Said, "Come and see", My mom's umbrella I took, And went to look. He climbed the slippery bench, Half dry, half drenched... I reached towards that sky bow, Colourful glow, Water only I could touch, I tried so much, Then watched the colours seven, Up in heaven. He clutched tight my umbrella, Naughty fella... How I wish they could have stayed! Look, now they fade, My mom's calling me inside, Where can I hide? This umbrella will hide me, Now, she can't see. My innocent little boy, Let him enjoy. 09/28/17
