i don’t mind spending my day in the rain
unlike the previous years
no gloomy weather engenders pain
why let the rain be my tears

when i could enjoy splashing in puddles
loving, laughing, staying out of all trouble
carefree, no reactions, and forgetting the struggles we bare
being a kid again, 
i lived to have fun, and walk around with no fear
finally feeling that once again in my older years
