Rain Dancing
by
Jude Kyrie*

Do you remember my darling
we were just children way back then.
we played in the summer rain.
Dancing in puddles.
Splashing in rubber boots.
Drenched with happiness
in the summer rain.
I think that's when
I first fell in love with you.
I knew even back then
we would marry one day.

Remember we always
loved walking in the rain.
The olive green days of
our life my love.
You, Me. the rain.

Then the sickness came
you tried to hide it from me.
but I knew ...I knew.

It was too strong for the
rain to wash away.

I remember that last day
my love.
you asked me is it raining
I said yes my love.
It's rained all day

Take me outside,
you whispered.
Dance with me in the rain
just one more time.

Now when I feel
lonely and sad.
and missing you is just
too hard for me to bear.

I stand in the pouring rain
and I can feel you close to me.
And the gentle pure rain
washes away my tears.
