Sometimes I wish the rain would linger
And cause my despairing thoughts to flee
I wish the rain’s monotonous music
Would change my sadness into glee
I wish the rain would not go away
And wash the pain of my soul’s despair away
I wish the puddles of water to be deep
So that in them I could jump and play
For in the rain I find sunshine and not only clouds
I find a hope that change does come if only for a while
In the rain I see God’s plan of love and cheer
I see His handiwork appear upon the horizon of my soul
Encouraging me to bask in the rain as each drop cleans and restores.
I then stop and begin to bask
In the reality of all I see
I then stop wishing for the rain to linger
And see just as it, the pain of my soul will also pass
