Celine Rose Mariotti Poet Prose

Somebody Needs Some Sunshine

Somebody Needs Some Sunshine


			It’s raining again,
			the bad luck kind
			the rain that brings problems
			problems with no end
			the person being rained on
			doesn’t deserve the downpour,
			he deserves sunshine
			sunshine to bring him luck
			sunshine to make him smile,
			Please God, tell the rain to stop for awhile

			It’s raining again,
			the hard luck kind
			the rain that brings bad news
			bad news with no end
			the person being rained on
			doesn’t deserve the thunderstorm,
			she deserves sunshine,
			sunshine to bring her luck
			sunshine to make her smile
			Please God tell the rain to stop for awhile


			It’s raining again,
			devastating, disappointing kind of rain,
			the rain that brings sadness
			sadness with no end
			the person being rained on
			doesn’t deserve this hurricane
			he deserves sunshine to bring him luck
			sunshine to make him smile,
			Please God, tell the rain to stop for awhile


			Someone told me a saying that is true,
			“It always rains on the person who most needs 
			the sunshine”
			how true this saying is,
			too much rain all the time
			got to have sunshine more of the time
			sunshine to bring us luck
			sunshine to make us smile,
			Please God, tell the rain to stop for awhile.


			Celine Rose Mariotti

I just get so busy with all my many writing projects. I've been writing and submitting and being published for over 40 years now. I've had quite a few books published and my work has appeared in magazines and journals across the US and overseas too. I like to play the guitar and banjo; I enjoy soap operas; I love Las Vegas. I'm going to check out your poems too. A fellow poet, Celine Rose Mariotti

Poet Tacito December 19, 2013 at 8:32 AM I wholly agree with this. We should never wish pain & hurt on another...life will do that to all of us anyway, at times. We need to be there for each other through the storm. Nice to meet you, Celine. Great job!
