Rainy Day

Drip, drip, drip, drip
Into the water I want to slip
Chills run down my spine
That sweet warm water will be mine

Heat runs through my veins
As I watch the pouring rain
The chills slowly subside
As I ache to go outside

Instead I choose to sit
And watch my granny knit
A sweater that will be for me
I really should let her be

Looking down at my mug
The chills begin to tug
I see mom out in the rain
Better put on the kettle again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed."
