Drip... Drip... Drip...
The raindrops tickled me;
soft as a feather,
light as a bubble,
reminding me to smile.
Drip... Drip... Drip...
Red umbrella came to my rescue,
when the rain-wrapped around,
not letting me go, as I stood
in the middle of nowhere.
Drip... Drip... Drip...
With grass green shirt,
sky blue skirt and
earthy brown boots,
I felt a part of nature.
Drip... Drip... Drip...
New music surrounded me;
rain drumming on the umbrella,
boots splashing the puddle,
laughter bubbling from my heart.
Drip... Drop... Drip...
Pitter... Patter... Pitter...
Splish... Splash... Splish...
Giggle... Laugh... Giggle...
The child in me is back again.
