Rain, how gentle you are

The crystal drops you leave amongst my car

Tiny gifts that sparkle like stars

The happiness you bring leaves me drunken

Far more than any bar

Oh, how gentle you are

But how harsh you can be

With the cold that you bring, leaving me to freeze

Low temperatures force me to sneeze

So strong that I no longer feel warmth from my sleeves

How harsh you can be, my rain

Our rain

I hope my words don’t leave you in vain

For your strident and tender traits bring beauty 

Beauty that has no choice but to leave a stain

A stain amongst the brains of those who see you

You create the new and recover the broken

Healing what has brittled is your token

Your gift, your power

You heal trees and almost every flower

But even more so, you heal myself

Every time that I hear you

You make me anew 

How harsh you can be

But how gentle you are

Rain
