Rain

By Alex Baranda

She is lovely in her flowery dress
Raindrops keep falling from the skies above 
She looks up to the deluge of kisses 
As if she were waiting for her true love 

She is beautiful in her blue raincoat 
Raindrops keep falling into the terrain   
She takes in the smell of the rain-soaked dirt 
As if she were thinking of what was then 

She is so pretty in her pink rain boots 
Raindrops keep falling with the gusting wind 
She splashes the puddles pooled near the roots 
As if she were singing a happy tune  

She loves the rhythm of the falling rain 
As it soothes her and takes away her pain
