I often walk through the rain
And feel myself getting drenched
Feel the cold in my bones
And the see the steam from my breath
Feel my feet going numb as I squelch through the puddles
Why Wrestle with an umbrella it will end up in a muddle.
I feel the raindrops falling from my brow
As my hair clings to my scalp more than ever now
I’ve still away to go before I feel the warmth of home
As I look in other houses I see the warm orange glow
And the happy smiling faces of those inside
And people sharing moments and I wish that, that was I
But I still got my journey ahead of me
As I still feel the rain belting down this street.
But i know I will get there in the end
And I know that when I do I will appreciate it then
Appreciate the warmth and that glow of home
More at that moment then I will ever have known.
For know matter the storms that assail us in life
We need to understand that through that darkness will come light
That only true appreciation
Comes from working through hard times
And that in the end of all of this
We will be stronger in the mind.
Knowing that we persevered and made our way out of advesitity
Will teach us more about life’s diversity
And that you can’t take anything for granted except this single truth
That in this single moment life’s duality is proved.
