It’s a cold rain on this cold morning
Raining cats and dogs they say
Why not raining birds and bees
Or better yet let it rain love and kindness
Drops of sweet water to change our thinking
To wash away fear and loneliness
Let it rain invitations to reach out
And share our lives with others
Let it pour down buckets of insights
That we can find meaning and shelter in our pain
Let the raindrops wash away our tears
And let the same raindrops cause us to cry
With honest reflection and emotional freedom
Honor the rain on this cold winter day
A gift of water from above
Freely given, with love.
