RAIN MUST COME DOWN BUT

To all rain must fall
A beauty it has
Inside I watch it
Never ending it seems

Rain must come but
Why today
I want to go out

Most frightening it can be
Under dark black clouds
Soaking all 
Taking me to places

Rain must come down but
Why today
I want to go play

Coming down in buckets
Oh what power
Many running
Embracing all

Rain must come but
Why today
Why to me
I want to go play

Down it comes
Oh so lovely
Wonders can be seen
No end to its beauty

Rain must come but
Why today
Why to me
I want to go play

Rain must come down but
Why today
I want to go out

But it brings buckets
Under the crying sky
Taking away my fun

Rain must come down but
Rain must come but
Why today
Why to me
I want to go play

You have captured the displeasure and disappointment of one who wants to play, but cannot not because of the rain, yet at the same time admitting we must have rain - even though it causes us unhappiness at times!
A nice write that has developed more in message with each verse! I really like this one!

This is really good. The idea of it sounds like something any child (or adult?) would say when it's raining. It's cute!
