It rains,
sometimes droplets,
sometimes torrents.
And as each drop falls
on my uncovered head,
As each drop threatens
to soak my just dried dress,
I stare at the passers-by...
hoping, wishing...
Would they lend me an umbrella?
Would they share an umbrella?
Would they stand with me?
Would they stand across from me?
Or would they just pass by?
The drops don't stop,
it goes on longer than I imagined.
It affects the ones that decide to stand with me,
now they don't have umbrellas either.
Where is that ray of sunshine of Yours?
Wasn't it supposed to come after the rain?
How much longer till the rain stops?
We'll be waiting till the rain ceases.
~Dedicated to B~
I hope you are all having a splendid Easter. I know I am. I am so excited because this is the first Easter that I have seen Christ in a different light. It used to be so mechanical, 'claiming' to celebrate him because of his love. Honestly, I never understood what that love meant. I still don't fully understand... I guess I can only hope to one day comprehend the full extent of His love.
Have a blessed week and remember that no matter what phase you are passing through right now, there is always light at the end of the tunnel!
