Jumping In Puddles Poem by Ken Barrett

As the rain falls down from up in the sky,
Splashing in puddles that lay on the ground.
With elated feelings I get so high,
As rain washes over me all around.

It brings back memories from a time past,
When I was a child on a summer day.
And how much longer that the days would last,
Now that I am older time slips away.

How much I would like to make time stand still,
And stopping the pain of growing older.
I wish this to be with all of my will,
Unfortunately that's a tall order.

So I will enjoy my time remaining,
And go out and splash when it is raining.
