The sky was gray today <br />When she woke up and got out of the bed <br />She walked out into her balcony <br />She saw the rain pouring down fast <br />It washed her tears away <br />And washed her sadness away <br />Rain I hope you will stop soon <br />It will make the grass grow green again <br />It will water the flowers in the garden <br />This is the song of the rain <br />God created the rain and the sun also <br />How lucky <br />You have heard her prayer <br />It finally stopped raining again <br />I always found peaceful the sound of the rain <br />The sound of the rain is music to my ears <br />And puts me to rest <br />Any time of the day or night <br />I am not frighten of the rain <br />I know that the rain is not going to hurt me <br />And I am not going to melt either <br />Because I am not made of ice <br />The song of the rain I sing <br />I wrote it for the rain <br />I had the rain on my mind today <br />Honestly I did <br />The rain washes all the mud away, the side walk, and the street away <br />The song of the rain I keep singing on and on <br />Until I run out of voice <br />And tired myself out <br />People say the rain is for the ducks <br />Some say it is raining cats and dogs <br />Every time it rains out<br /><br />Aldo Kraas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-of-the-rain-2/
