Another Rainy Day
by Jeff LeMond
I made a point to rise at dawn,
that I might take a ride.
Such utter disappointment hits me, as I look outside.
Was not a sunrise looming bright.
Nor birds singing there.
No blue sky as I had hoped for,
Only dismal cold despair.
The day I had anticipated wasn’t coming round.
And just when it appeared its worse,
Rain starts pouring down.
The gods must be against me.
What else can I say.
What have I done to earn this wrath,
another rainy day.
But then I started thinking,
and so I start to see.
everything that nature does isn’t just for me.
The birds and bees might need a drink for them to buzz and fly.
The grass so green, and trees Ive seen would wither up and die.
This rain might bring despair to some
and that I understand.
consternation in the air,
when things don’t go as planned.
Raindrops that are falling now,
become the flowers of May.
Lightning strikes will clean the air to make a fresher day.
We will have our chance to walk or run.
and go outside,
to bask in suns warm rays of light,
and take that morning ride.
So chill for now and understand
the storm is natures way.
relax or cook, read a book
enjoy this rainy day.
