What Will the Rain Say
====================
What will the rain say?
It falls the day your father goes to ground
and palls all hope he loved you anyway,
as it recalls the countless flaws he found.
What will the rain say?
That while it stormed your port had served her best
but when again it warmed, love sank away
like long forgotten treasure in her chest?
What will the rain say?
When you must keep it out to stay afloat
but drowning doubt seeps through your saddened bay
and leaks into your solitary boat?
What will the rain say?
When water pries your soaking seams undone,
then tries to rise above your head today?
Will you still cry for one last ray of sun?
And what will the rain say...
