i will have a little rain, thank you

you want to be happy all the time

to feel the sun kiss your skin

and the warmth that comes from within

i love the golden light

truth is

i used to wish for only sunshine in my life

but now i see

it would be too monotone

and too dry

that even the sun couldn't make smile

anymore

i tell myself

if you want a pretty garden

full of life

you need rain for the seeds that you saw

bad weather is essential

not a flaw

though its harder to survive

you might have to clench your jaw

but i believe you will live through it all

without a little rain

without a little wind

the leaves wouldn't unfold

the sprouts wouldn't spring

you need both sun and the rain

to let flowers bloom

and colors flourish

you need a few cloudy nights

to appreciate the sunset
