rainy day
take the umbrella,
she said
but I was not going
to be
gone for long and I
don’t mind
getting a little wet
I dry
off rather quickly
the rain lasted most
all day
a background of soft
applause
to a thoughtful day
and I
must say I concur
there aren’t many days
like this
when hope clings to me
like rain
and love runs freely
like rain
in a storm of thanks
Peace,
Milton
