Revel In the Rain

Storms can come at any time
There are mountains that we climb
Sunshine helps to ease the pain
We have to revel in the rain

Revel in the rain
Within the swirling squall
When your back’s against the wall
And you’re feeling so very small
Revel in the rain

Life can take us for a ride
It’s like swimming against the tide
When we lose more than we gain
It’s time to revel in the rain

Revel in the rain
Looking to the sky
Spread your wings and start to fly
Let the freedom make you sigh
Revel in the rain

When you give all that you’ve got
You’ll find you’re better than you thought
You wouldn’t have grown without the pain
Raise your arms and revel in the rain

Revel in the rain
Shout to the heavens, I’m alive
Feelings of triumph I revive
When all is done I will survive
Revel in the rain

We have to withstand a little rain in our lives...we can revel in it and learn from it! So I say....let's just jump in the puddles and have a whale of a time when it rains!! Nicely done, Vince! :) Carrie

Very inspirational Vince. I want to revel in the rain when times are tought but sometimes its hard to get the motivation. Your poem sheds light to many who may feel down trodden at times. Great work.

This is wonderfully uplifting and serves to be inspirational as well. Terrific imagery and love the repetition of the one line as it emphasizes the need to do exactly that, revel in the rain. Michael
