"A Sonnet for the Rain"

Thursday morning rain.jpg

The rain is coming down in rills,
Yet we remain dry, but still;
The weather often works to bring us down,
With sadness or fear we’re filled.

It need not be so my friends,
Getting wet does not cause the Cold,
Hope is always just around the corner,
Going forth we must be careful but Bold.

Is this not the formula for life?
Torrents of fear and misfortune threaten.
We just have to be careful and bold,
Go forth, live life and help out our brethren.

Be not afraid, don’t let fear rule your life.
Boldness with caution, always avoid strife.

Well, the heavy rain did swing through about an hour later, really heavy rain, it has stopped for the nonce, but it hasn't stopped and won't until the weekend from what I hear.
Thanks @lymepoet
