When the clouds begin to form <br />And the rain begins to fall <br />Listen closely, you may just feel it's call <br />That is why when the floods begin to pour <br />Or tears begins to drop <br />You won't find find me in a dry, dreary, shop <br /> <br />Listen closely, you may just hear it's plead <br />If you can hear it, please answer the need <br />When the water comes down by the liter <br />I don't take cover in a movie theater <br />Oh no, when the rain begins to fall <br />I'll go out <br />Dance, Jump, and Scream about <br />I'll swirl and twirl all around <br />So fast, i just can't possibly frown <br /> <br />You may think its strange, <br />The way I love the rain <br />But you see, that's how the rain is to me <br />It's a time to change, <br />And a time to be free <br /> <br />Before the rain comes, <br />It's to hot for the flowers to shine <br />To humid for the birds to tweet a lullby <br />To dry for the bees to collect their sweet pollen <br />To perfect for the mosquitos not to feast <br />On the fresh, sweaty meat <br /> <br />Just when it seems <br />That this blistering heat will never fade <br />Rain comes rushing to your aid <br />It drowns out the sorrows of yesterday <br /> <br />But look around, what do you see? <br />Because all around me, <br />The flowers are shining <br />The birds are lullabying <br />And the mosquitoes - thank god- are running <br /> <br />So i'm sorry if when the rain comes <br />I can't help but jump and yell <br />'Hip Hip Hooray' <br />Because when the rain comes <br />To me its a promise of a brand new day<br /><br />Hannah McGill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-rain-begins-to-fall/
