“When it rains, it pours”
Often turns out true
For one thing gone wrong
Sometimes starts a slew.
So an E.R. trip,
Which would be enough,
Then a tire near flat
Leads to other stuff.
Like no transport home
From a birthday meet,
Since the E.R. car
Had the booster seat.
Frantic texts and calls
‘Til things got resolved,
But the story then
Gets much more involved.
‘Cross the ocean, flights
Somehow got delayed.
Then a phone got lost,
Leaving all dismayed.
But the downpour stops
And the sun comes out.
All the ups and downs
Are what life’s about.
Have you ever heard of the saying…
When It Rains It Pours?
Well that saying became real
in my life a couple weeks ago.
And it made me super depressed.
Everything thing in my house
seemed to breakdown( two things)
I didn't have any money in my
savings or on credit card.
So it's extremely important to
save up money for a rainy day
because one never knows what
emergency will happen.
I learned that the hard. I strive to
do better in the future. As you know
we all learn lessons from life
experiences.
Well you may ask me what broke
down?
Let me tell you what it was……….
My refrigerator and the plumbing
in my bathroom, stopped working
almost at the same time.
Is the problem solved?
I am working on it.
Am I still depressed?
No, although those things
happened it could be much worse.
My kids are healthy,
I have a roof over my head,
lights, gas, food, bed and a deep
freezer( thank God for a deep freezer).

When it rains it definitely pours with me.
Either I have way too much time on my hands for months literally,
or I'm so busy without any free time at all for months for anybody,
but more unfortunately, absolutely no free time for yours truly.
Yes, when it rains it truly does pour when it comes to me.
I guess I should feel thankful most sincerely
during times of "way too much time on my hands for months literally,"
because I'm often unemployed during those periods regularly,
but apparently, that still has not yet hurt me financially,
but I'm NOT rich by any stretch of the imagination,
so don't even think of trying to get a loan out of me.
I'm just your everyday hard working blue collar stiff,
who just happens to know how to manage his money.
To her from him...
They say "when it rains, it pours."
The absence of your love is causing a mental war.
Since you been gone things just aren't the same.
Beneath my breastbone my heart screams your name.
It was just this morning I was going through pictures of us together.
My world was still storming and I wondered if I could shake this weather.
I just can't keep going on like this forever.
Why do I feel like a pawn in every endeavor?
I long for your caress but my emotions are in chains.
I feel this profound loneliness but only when it rains....
To him from her...
When the sun comes out, I feel you're nearby,
The sadness goes away, and the wind carries my sighs,
The longing in my heart, to just start anew,
To just kiss your lips and show you how much I truly love you.
A storm comes in and washes my face,
But every drop is with a tear that says you'll never be replaced,
Waiting for your love, just standing in the rain....
A collaboration with "Jimmy Anderson"
He wanted to write something together,
so off of his idea I wrote the second verse.
its nothing personal: inspired off my name slightly i think though.
