Rain Sounds

Frosty,
Dripping,
Dismal morning.
Errands put off one day too many.

Bank,
Cleaners,
Grocery Store.
In and out, in and out, in and out of the car.
Miserable, MISERABLE weather.

Unbridled two year old enthusiasm
undampened.
Toys
trail
us
to
the
door.

Purse thrown on my seat,
Leah plopped in her, grinning.
Umbrella uselessly sits in a puddle.

Stepping back on to a saturated lawn bestows
the first soaker of the year.

Exasperated,
Agitated,
WET,
I get into the car
shaking water off my hands
as a petite voice declares
"Mommy, I like that sound"!

So we sit quietly in the driveway and listen
to the rain.

What a great day!
