"rain and Tears"

A raindrop and a teardrop fall on my hand today...
Which will hit the ground first and wither away...
One made up of pain the other a cool drop from the sky...
The first cools away the heart ache the second forms
another in my eye...
Wondering which will stop first the rain or the tears....
Looking up to the sky as  God splashes on my fears...
I'm molded in life from happiness and despair...
Wipe my eyes and see that the world isn't always fair...
The tears are dried and the rain has cleared...
A new day starts and nothing to be feared....
