To and From the Boy Who Loved Rain

A poem and reply.

Rain, with its syncopated lullabies
Could sing the saddest heart to sleep
No weary heart, nor body, nor soul
Could deny its song of peace;
So sleep ye, let me not see the sorrows
That so surround you when you wake
Rest your heart, your body, your soul
I'm by your side, and I will wait
forever.

Rain, for all the peace it ever brought me
Could find its rival in your smile
No wordly pain, no fear, no sorrow
Could live in one by your side;
So stay ye, let me see the priceless smile
That so illumines all the air
Rest from your pain, your fear, your sorrow
I'm by your side, and I'll be there
forever.
