Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Go out and venture
But prepare for the rain

Torrential downpours
Winds fierce and strong
Happiness and sunshine
Never last for long

So enjoy your sunny smiles
While they last
And remember your umbrella
For the pain can come fast

"A dream is a wish your heart makes while you are fast asleep."

Great symbolism in this piece!  I liked the first two lines, I've heard that saying before.  Well done bringing them into the poem.
A wonderful post, thanks for the read!

I like the whole idea of having an umbrella. Very well done here!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

What about a raincoat?  
Seriously, the symbolism  and the message is really written down well.
keep it up

Wow I think this is my favorite that I have read by you, because it's just so cute and really really nicely written.  The symbolism is excellent, and really truthful.  Love the way this was written.  Into my library.

Nice metaphor. My mind has now messed around with it and I have Shirley Manson's yummy voice in I'm Only Happy When it Rains stuck in my head.
