~*~
I'm walking
in pouring rain,
washing
my cares away.
Gray skies
may follow me,
but they can't
cloud my day.

I'm whistling
a happy tune,
so woes
won't get me down.
I will
think happy thoughts,
so pains
can't stay around.

I'm walking
in pouring rain,
washing
my cares away.
Gray skies
may follow me,
but they can't
cloud my day.

(smiles) Oh Linda, not every rainy day makes me feel glum, some rainy days are just beautiful and feel so comforting! (kiss on cheek) This would make a beautiful song, sweet friend, yay, now lift your umbrella up and let's skip in the puddles singing, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light awlays shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yep! Got myself soaking wet! I think I'd like to take you up on your offer to dry me off! Do you have cozy, Downy soft blanket to wrap me in?  

I'm on my way!

Me too!  Some rainy days are indeed beautiful and comforting! Thanks for the suggestion re making my poem into a song. I just might do that!

I love water!--oceans, lakes, streams--and rain!

I don't even like to carry an umbrella when I go walking in the rain! I like to feel the rain on my skin!--so cleansing, so refreshing!

*slapping bug bites and stuff* My favorite line is well stanza
"I'm walking
in pouring rain,
washing
my cares away.
Gray skies
may follow me,
but they can't
cloud my day."

I feel your washing away those things that don't matter and can't get you down like the rain on a rainy day. Lord knows in my state, well area we've had plenty and it feels great to watch them flow down the river on the sides of streets...The pain is gone and nothing can get you down for tomorrow is a new day. Simply beautiful EA!
how bout a hug? Peace!!!! ~*~Kirah~*~

LOL You're so darn cute!--and enthusiastic! Yes, the rain really can be very purifying! --and a downpour can be downright cathartic!

Regarding that offered hug--you're on!--O-- Thanks!

Have a great weekend!
