Raindrops

A man once sang "Singing in the Rain".
He smiled and he danced,
without heartache or pain.

A song that we should all hear.
A song without the everday fear.
A song we should sing everyday,
for all of the souls who lost their way.

A simple sound like raindrops falling.
Can cause a reaction,sometimes appalling.
Sometimes it puts a smile on a face.
But sometimes it leads to a much darker place.

Raindrops falling on a summer afternoon,
may bring back youth and playing in june.
But sometimes the rain is long and cold.
Haunting the ones who are lonely and old.

So wherever you go in life,
as you search for your calling.
Never forget what may happen,
when raindrops start falling.


Dustin Self (raindrops falling contest)
