Rainy Days

This started out as lyrics my sister and I wrote together in the mid-1980s under the title, "Rainy Daze." I wrote a poem with the same title in the early 1990s, but when I re-read it a few years back, I didn't like how it had turned out. I changed the title to "Rainy Days" and wrote this version on September 14, 2009. This is a poem from the point of view of a speaker who is sharing the mood that they sometimes feel on a rainy day.


Sometimes on a rainy day
When I hear the pitter-patter of the rain
It makes me feel melancholy
And I recall some of my pain


On those dark and dreary days
When it just seems that the sun will never shine
I sit and recall all the good times
And I know my life will be fine
