The Girl in the Rain

It was a hot April day,

When the heavens decided to pour,

As I ran looking for shelter,

A little girl danced in the rain.

As I cursed the global warming,

She searched for a rainbow.

As I tried avoiding the puddles,

She was already making paper boats.

As I tried saving my dress,

She tried catching raindrops on her tongue.

As I shielded myself from the water the car sprayed,

She jumped from puddle to puddle.

I think I will give up being an adult,

And become that little girl,

I may have the experience,

But I want to live like her.
