~*~ 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. ~*~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (06-19-2003 02:31 PM).] |

I loved the write. It's full of hope, optimism. and determination. "There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature." |

(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 Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

-Deep sigh- I love walking in the rain, I love this! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

*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~*~ "Life is not measured by the moments we take,but by the moments that take our breaths away." -Author Unkown. |
