Rain drops fall down Bathing my skin And covering the town Quenching a thirsty earth As the rain gives birth To new life And lulling me to sleep As the drops pitter patter on my roof Drowning out the nightmares As my soul it soothes I’ve begun to believe Rain can heal most anything For when I’ve had a bad day And I say, “I’m done, I quit” The rain washes down my face as if to say “Just breathe, that’s it!” The rain makes me shiver Because it makes me wet and cold But kissing in the rain brings other shivers entirely But that’s a story I’ll leave untold
