Listen
Listen to the pluvial refrain – the sound on my umbrella – the rhythm of the rain.
Raindrops
When raindrops fall upon my hand
It takes me to another land
A land where nature taps a beat
My heart will dance
(and my feet)
Jumping in puddles is what I do
splashing through small lakes of dew
Listening to the pluvial refrain
The sound on my umbrella,
The rhythm of the rain
pat, pat, pat.
Dripping raindrops on my hand
Take me to another land
and I am a child again.

My boys never missed running and splashing through a rain puddle.
Okay, I confess. I’m partial to splashing about in the rain.
