on rain I am taking the umbrella <br />and holding you up to the hand <br />I am leading through the park <br />with street to the promenade <br />there and back <br />I am singing a song under the nose <br />I am going I am paddling on puddles <br />I am not avoiding rainwater <br />squelching cheerfully under barefooted feet <br />entire dripping wet I am feeling <br />small by you I forgot <br />to open the colour umbrella <br />and already rainbow in the sky.<br /><br />Maria Barbara Korynt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-you-in-the-rain/
