Drops jumping
On the pavement
Rushing down the gutter
Pattering on the roof
Washing away the grime
Washing away tears
From the inside
Watching it fall
I sip another
Cup of coffee
Pulling up my
Hand knit socks
With a stupid cat
On my feet
And a book
In my lap
Rain, rain
I wish we could
Get the sound
And the smell
Without having to
Get soaked
By you
But thank you
for watering
my flowers
