Beneath the northern stars

Sometimes, the sunny skies above
Turn stormy, dark, and gray
An icy rain begins to fall
And we cannot find the way.
But when those times befall you
Just take a look around
Because, my friend, I'll be there for you
When the rain beats down.

How romantic. This made me think about Liam.

Cold hands means a warm heart

"I'll be there for you,
when the rain beats down"--very loving--and poetic!  

Warm hugs,
Linda

Julie, I'm glad it brought a romantic thought to mind!

Thank you, Linda, I'm glad it came across that way!

to you both,
Elizabeth

I was just passing through when I spotted the title, I am most glad that I took the chance to take a little time and read it as it was well worth it. You have used such beautiful language to express such a wonderful sentiment. Anyone who could count you as their friend should consider themselves lucky. Thanks for sharing

I was going to write to you
a simple little verse
to let you know how great you are
with friends I've certainly done worse...
but, alas, my muse is gone
hiding in the dark
as a result I guess that I
may make only this nonpoetic remark:


Thanks for being there through all my rain   *hugs*


My name is Batman... but my friends call me Bob

Thank you everyone!

Nancy--actually, I like the rain too!

Rhonda--aw that's so sweet. No problem! You know where to find me and thanks for the poem too.

You should write greeting cards -- this would be great for one!  Take a bump back to the top.

Thanks again passing shadows!

Local Rebel--Funny you should say that. That's what I used to want to be! Maybe I'll give being a greeting-card writer another shot. Thank you!

Just bring the rain,
Elizabeth - we need it...
the thunder is here,
the lightning not far behind...

but so far, so downpour!

Bring the Rain!

James, thank you for reading. I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
