Raindancing
a poem
by
Jude Kyrie
Do you remember my love
we were just children back then.
we played in the summer rain.
Dancing in puddles.
Splashing in rubber boots.
I think that's when
I fell in love with you.
I knew even then
we would marry one day.
Remember we always
loved walking in the rain
The olive green days
of our life my love.
Then the sickness came
you tried to hide it from me.
but I knew ...I knew.
Remember that last day
my love.
you asked is it raining
I said yes my love.
Take me outside you said.
Dance with me in the rain
just one more time.
Now when I feel
lonely and sad
I stand in the pouring rain
and can feel you close to me.
and the gentle pure rain
washes away my tears
