Rain

Let it rain in big fat drops

Coming down hard and pounding

Let me feel the grief within

The loss of you more profoundly

Let the earn dampen with the tears

Of those who will miss you on this shore

 

Let it rain a soft light refreshing cleanse

So people remember grief is not a gauge

But a release in increments and there

Is no time like now to let it flow

Healing this hole left in one who has

Known you, lived by you, walked with you

 

Let it rain just a mist something that still

Makes us aware of a light touch so

We can take all the losses this world gives

And pray them to the heavens giving them back

To God on each and every light drop

 

It coats our arms, our lives, our walk

To give love to another in this world

 It makes us rounder, fuller, more alive

Yet all the losses cost us bits of ourselves and

We give them back to God who lost us all
