What’s The One Thing That Can Pick You Up On A Rainy Day?
I woke to the sound
of a hard summer rain,
the kind that cracks
your window pane
and makes you want
to go back to sleep
and sink beneath
the covers deep.
Just five more minutes
let me stay in bed,
just a few more seconds
let me cover my head.
Darkness presses
where light should be,
rainfall thunders
a melody.
It's the kind of day
I just want to stay
wrapped in my thoughts
without shoulds or oughts.
But Brownie's at my door,
my sweet little pup,
she's the one thing
that can make me get up!
