YOU DRY UP MY RAIN
~ Linda L. Dowd ~


Through clouded glass I see the past,
As memories fade and dim,
Of times when he and I were one,
But now we’re me ~ and him.

As new day dawns with light of sun,
The pane begins to clear,
And there before me stands the man,
Who holds me near and dear.

In this glorious present,
As my life begins anew,
I give my heart to my true love,
~ For my future lies with you.

I have no need to ever return,
To those times that caused me pain,
For now with you the sun does shine,
As you dry up all my rain.

Hi hon .... a wonderful poem and I love these last two lines.

Seems there's no need for an umbrella!  

huggles, Marti

To my mind, the "p" in your pseudonym stands for "precious"!

Warm hugs, Darlin' Dixie!

Thank you for saying so, Magnanimous One!

I would sing "Rain, rain, go away ~ come again some other day!" So far so good! But if the rain does come again, I'll do as Sir Sigh suggested ~ I'll water the flowers!

Warm hug,
Linda

Susan ~

It is a gift I wish for every person on this planet.

My washusband's astrological sign and mine are 180 degrees apart. He eventually settled down with someone who has his birthday ~ and I am with a glorious man who has mine! ~ Mind you, he's six years younger! lol

Yes, I do believe in a divine plan and that there is a reason for everything. Things turn out as they are supposed to be. I have learned to go with the flow and I believe that ultimately everything will turn out for my higher good!

Hugs with love,
Linda
