How sad to be a rain drop, <br />To fall out from a cloud, <br />To whiz on threw the air, <br />And plummet to the ground. <br /> <br />How short that life must be, <br />How quickly it is over, <br />How sad to be reduced, <br />To dew upon a clover. <br /> <br />How sad be a rain drop, <br />To be wished away by all, <br />To think you once were so big, <br />And then find out your small. <br /> <br />How sad to be erased, <br />Wiped out from the world, <br />To be quickly replaced, <br />Never to be missed. <br /> <br />How sad to not be seen, <br />As separate from the group, <br />To be clumped with the others, <br />A never ending loop. <br /> <br />How sad to be so small, <br />Ignored in many ways, <br />And never seen as beautiful, <br />Just annoying and a pain. <br /> <br />How sad to be dried up, <br />By sun and constant heat, <br />How horrible to disappear, <br />Leaving no trace you were there.<br /><br />Emily E.
