Puddle Dances

Raindrops dance upon the pavement
Pool together in low spots
As still more drops make the plunge
And immediately pop back upwards
As if trying to regain their home in the clouds

When the rain has ceased
The air smells fresh and clean
The pools of raindrops calm and smooth as glass
Reflect the sky above

Children make paper boats to set sail in these pools
Laughing and splashing
Till recalled home by motherly voices
That gasp at the sight of wet clothes and muddy hands and faces
Only to fall victiim to damp hugs and kisses.

How sweet are the words that come from the heart of a mother
No warmer embrace than the one drenched in puddle splashes
THis is so lovely

Precious, endearing, delightful--brought back memorable moments of playing in the rain with my daughters when they were little girls.......

Thanks for the memories!  

Peace, Love & Light,

"And immediately pop back upwards"

I like that image, and all the others.

Delightful poem. Enjoyed greatly.
