rain go away
we used to sing as innocent children
at play
when the sun refused to come out
and all we could see was puddles and mud
couldn’t go out
or get our feet wet
to keep from catching cold
so we sang a song
of prayer
asking the weather to change for us
until the sun showed her face
but today
this rain is coming down hard
we have no power over its force
of devastation
no safe place to run and hide
from
rising waters running in the streets
full moon watching
tide swelling
banks breaking
ocean and land becoming one
and…
we wait for the sun
to show her face
so again we sing
our song
rain
go away
