Just Another Rainy Day...

So, today is rainy, and it has me thinking about life more than usual. I don't know what it is about rain, but it makes me think clearly. I love the sound, smell, and the beauty of rain. However, I wish it were sunny today. We've had way too much rain this semester, and I'd really like to spend some time outside. The truth of the matter is that even though rain causes me to think clearly; sunny days are peaceful. I think too much, and I wish I could shut off my thoughts for awhile. Sunny days help me do that. When I sit outside with the sun on my face, and the cool breeze blowing through my hair, I feel like I don't need to think about anything. And it's those sunny days that I long for.


"Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.
Rain, rain, go away.
Come again some other day.
Little Arthur wants to play,
In the meadow by the hay.
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again.
Rain, rain, pour down,
But not a drop on our town.
Rain on the green grass,
and rain on the tree,
And rain on the housetop,
but not on me.
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again on washing day.
Rain, rain, go to Germany,
And remain there permanently.
Rain, rain, go away,
Come on Martha's wedding day."
