The Rain

         Rain falls gently misting the leaves
                  on this tree called life.
                 It sends down it's drops to water our
                 life with tears and heartache.
 

                The sun peeps out behind the clouds
                and says, "go have a new beginning"
                We try, and we find that the rain just
                continues to fall, only heavy now.
 
 

                The flood gates open and the rush of
                emotion causes us to move backwards
                to a time and place when the rain was
                just for happy times in youth.
 

              Someday the rain shall end, and the
clouds
              will roll away, the sun will shine, and I can

              say, " It's been five years today since she
left
              and I'm going to be ok..................."
