The Rain

I remember you on days like these

And how you loved the rain.

So often you stayed quiet

But you smiled just the same.

I know that you had reasons

To keep your thoughts on hold

For this life you have been living

Would shortly be on hold.

So many time’s we’d share a smile

And a hug when times were dear

As I knew that there would come a day

I would face that final fear.

So I remember you on days like these

And how you loved the rain…

I know that you are smiling…

But no longer feel the pain.
