Piter patter on the roof,
Splashing puddles cuddle together,
Clouds free from their burden,
blessed upon for the receivers.
Tumbling to the ground,
undetermined path for the future.
waiting and falling,
With no strait away,
Like tiny petals drifting down
Water dancing in the air
a ballet of liquids,
Swooping and leaping in the air
when they are done they lay to rest.
pit-pat
pit-pat
rain drops on this roof
pit-pat
pit-pat
a tear rolls down my face
pit-pat
pit-pat
piter-pater
piter-pater
feet run through the house
piter-pater
piter-pater
trying to wake you up
piter-pater
piter-pater
tick-tock
tick-tock
waiting for that time
tick-tock
tick-tock
the time talks to me
tick-tock
tick-tock
