Memories Of Rain Poem by Marilyn Lott

I have such fun-filled memories
Of rain through childhood years
I remember my brother and I
Said it was angels shedding tears

We never used raincoats
Or umbrellas for our heads
We romped like little puppies
Absorbing the rain instead

Of course way back then
I had no glasses on my face
I looked straight up to the sky
Enjoying that lovely wet space

And as the skies would darken
Lightening flashed and thunder rolled
We were so excited that we kept
Laughing happily as we strolled

Ah yes, it was such fun, my friend
But now they’re a different strain
I don’t think kids of today will have
Such wonderful memories of rain!
