Description
A Walk in the Rain
I went for a long walk in the rain
And oh how I want to do it again
Sheepishly, I have to admit and tell ya
That I forgot to take my new umbrella
With my dear little Sunny trotting at my side
From steady drops there was nowhere to hide
Just a drizzle; drip-drop, drip-drop, drip-drop
Certainly not enough to make us stop
At first just speckles on gray sidewalks
Soon washed away children‘s chalks
The drops clicked a tap-dance on my hood
And I thought to myself it sounded quite good
While melodies of birds floated in the air
Steadily getting wetter, but I didn’t care
My soul was filled with their gentle song
And it kept me smiling as I walked along
Through puddles I splashed in time with my feet
To the rhythm of the steady raindrop drumbeat
A stage drenched in the honesty of nature
A concert so alive, so fresh and so pure
True natural beauty filled every sense
As saturated colors became more intense.
But pants and shoes soon grew uncomfortably wet
So reluctantly turning and towards home we set
Once inside puddles grew on the wood floor
As Sunny shook and then shook some more
Water sprayed like a sprinkler everywhere
Spots on the wall and splashes up the stair
The house soon covered in wet dog smell
The scent of a morning spent so well
The aroma of adventure filled my nose
As I peeled off wet soggy clothes
Quickly the dog got put in the tub
Soap and bubbles and rub a dub dub
Then tug-a-war with the towel for fun
Til exhausted she laid down all done
Then I, cozy and dry after a nice warm shower
Drank hot cocoa for one sweet hour
My mind wandered back to where we had been
And I wanted to go walk in the rain once again.
You may think I jest, you may think I lie
But we went back out one more time!

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
