10 Writing Gifts for a Rainy Day

 


 April Rain Song 

Let the rain kiss you 

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops 

Let the rain sing you a lullaby 

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk 

The rain makes running pools in the gutter 

The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night 

And I love the rain. 

Langston Hughes
