Wat To Do On a Rainy Day

WHAT TO DO ON A RAINY DAY

When the Earth is cloaked in green
When each new leaf is alive, wet and waving
      in the breeze,
What’s to do on such a rainy summer day?

I must try to dispel a certain lingering sense
      of gloom
Because the scene out my window is just      
      wonderful! –

God, in his sleepiest, dreamiest mood,
Has given rest to the sun
And all the world seems at peace, a misty song,
A time to rest, to love, to dream along

Dear Daver, I do believe most people find serenity in the rain and often catch up on their rest. You have described the mood rain sets very well! Sending you hugs. Love, Carolyn
