The Rain

This is a poem that I wrote a while ago:

The Rain

The raindrops fell

Down her face,

Dripping down her skin,

Reminding me

Of times long passed,

And struggles we were in.

I felt elation,

And renewed hope

For the road ahead that winds,

Beckoning to me,

With shining light,

Like a beacon for our minds.

I wiped a raindrop

From her soft, wet cheek,

Highlighting her beauty.

She smiled at me,

Passion in her eyes,

Fulfilling love’s duty.

I forgot our troubles,

Responsibilities,

And crushing burdens.

We adored our children,

But now, it was just us;

No crying and squirmin‘

I recalled,

Many years ago,

When it was us against the world.

As rain fell,

It reminded me,

Of falling in love with this girl.
