Stepping out of the office
Caught in the downpour
I rush to a shelter
To avoid getting wet
Waiting with the crowd
Watching the falling drops
Down memory lane I travel
To my childhood days.
Wading home after school
With not a care in the world
Splashing on the road with friends
Laughter of joy rent the air.
Loud honking of the horns
Brought me out of my trance
As I turned to look at the faces of people
Realised each were in their own land
Once again my eyes were drawn
To the gentle showers
Long buried desire surged ahead
To relive the days gone by
Gingerly I stepped away from the crowd
And felt the raindrops on my skin
Burst of happiness shot through me
I was a little girl once again.

Children splashing in the rain are a sight. Makes me want to go back to my childhod days.
Rains are wonderful as long as it does not cause a disaster.
