The Rain And Sanity

I feel the drizzle Of a summer rain It's so very calming Maybe I should explain The warmth of the rain As it hits my face I gently close my eyes I go back to another place Back when I was a child I'd stand out in the rain I'd always wonder to myself When I'm older, will I play this game You see, I always loved the rain As it hit against my face To me it was a happy time To be me it was a happy place No matter where I was No matter what the day I'd always get excited When the rains would come my way Maybe it was my escape Or my special way of hiding I'd spread my arms out like wings Pretend that I was gliding I'd to far off places Places I know I'd never see But I knew deep inside The dreams that lived in me You see when life treats you unkind Any place is a better place to be That's exactly where I went To help me keep my sanity 7-18-09/RjH submitted 10-16-16
