Serenade Of The Rain

I love the gentle rains of spring
That fall so softly as they sing
A melody of sweet romance
That calls to me “Come out and dance”

So I will join the raindrops there
As they pirouette upon the air
Back and forth with them I’ll sway
As they dance an aerial ballet

The rain will keep a rhythmic beat
Upon the pavement soft and sweet
We’ll dance a step at nature’s ball
While the crystal waters softly fall

Then as the skies begin to clear
And the final dance is drawing near
I see the rainbow that’s been made
By the falling raindrops serenade

But I will hear again their call
When gentle rains begin to fall
‘Til then within my heart remains
The joy of dancing with the rains

I love the rhythm and rhyme in this, and since I love to dance in the rain, the theme is also a treat.

everything about it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
