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

this is just beautiful, daver. Sorry about your health problems recently. Makes it hard to let loose and fully enjoy life but nature still is calling!
