The Rain

51 9 3
                                    

I like to watch the sun shine bright

When I've lost my smile

It helps me to remember that

I'll find it in a while

But still the rain is my first love

For reasons I can't say

I only know that deep inside

It makes me feel okay

For when the rain is falling hard

I, for once, am free

No one begrudges frowning when

The weather's bad, you see

I can be happy, sad,  or mad

On some days I'm all three!

For when the clouds are darkened then

It's fine to just be me

'Cause when the sun is out I feel

So pressured to be glad

How can I waste so nice a day,

By being mad or sad?

So while some mutter and some groan

When grey skies keep them in

I look up at the clouds above

And hide a little grin
