Rain Like Tears

Try as I might 

to be thankful

sometimes the rain is just wet.

It falls on my clothes

or my raincoat

leaving me cold and yet,

we need the rain,

maybe sadness, too

to know what the opposite means.

From all the gifts 

that we're given like this

we learn what not to be.

I'm not sure about the ending of this poem, but the beginning is brilliant. "Try as I might to be thankful, sometimes the rain is just wet" is a line I wish I'd thought of.

Hahahaa. It sounds so much better when you say it. Thank you Roland.
