Rain!

It was the first big rain today,
I woke to hear the comforting,
pit-pat, pit-pat, at my window.

After getting dressed,
we were ready to go get our coffee.
Stepping outside there's an instant smell of fresh pine.

The weather is brisk, my mood is high,
talking of this great wet blanket,
we drive down to the gas station.

Passing us are hundreds of red, green, and yellow lights,
that reflect off the wet roads and cars,
reminding me that Christmas is coming.

Winter is here, and right on time.
Moods are up, people are awake.
This is by far my favorite season.
