It Began to Rain I remembered the pureness of my love When I was younger and not so sad I remembered the dreams I had for life Before I gave in to others demands I remembered the way I’d seen it then That love and life were meant to be one I remembered it seemed only natural To deny the rain and care for the sun And when it hurt to remember I put it all away The heart of youth finds no peace In an adults reality Then one day it began to rain and I stood and let it fall As it washed away a grown ups tears I didn’t miss the sun at all And when a rainbow moved across the sky I found the years explained I’d never seen a rainbow Without first a little rain |

JLR- we need sun, we need rain somehow we have to try to live with both. And of course for a glimpse of an occational rainbow,what wouldn't we do. This is a great poem. Thanks. |

Wow, life explained through a little weather, I loved it! ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |

When clouded by the pain we wish that we could know love as fresh as rain wrapped in a colored bow. ----- I've always loved the rain... maybe it's the anticipation. \\ |
