Rainy Day

Little drops,
Fill the air,
Falling, falling,
upon her hair.

Little drops,
Land on her skin,
Falling, falling,
upon her shin.

Wet little drops,
kiss her ear,
Whispering, whispering,
"What do you hear?"

Sparkly drops,
Sing her a song,
Laughing, Laughing,
As she dances along.

Bigger drops,
Begin to fall,
Falling, falling,
Upon her doll.

Banging thunder,
Gives her a scare,
Running, running,
Into her lair.

Rays of sunlight,
Begin to peak,
Nudging nudging,
So she will speak.

Rainbow colors,
Put on a show,
Smiling, smiling,
her face does glow.

Night time comes,
and it's back inside.
sleeping, sleeping,
upon her side.

Deafening bombs,
make her rise,
staring, staring,
in Mother's blank eyes.

Lonely child,
She dares not smile,
as she watches the soldiers-
march single file.

Beautiful child,
Orphaned today,
Lonely, lonely,
on this rainy day.
