when the rain falls

The rains have been falling all day long
The birds wouldn't even sing their song
How dismal the day has been outside
So  glad I can find sunshine deep inside

So inside my heart I  quietly stay
And picture a bright and sunny day
Where  animals always run and play
And people love every one the right way

While I'm pondering I begin to see
A river flowing along side of me
It whispers softly while passing by
Drop in here what makes you cry

So I let go of all  the things that hurt:
The words that made me feel like dirt
And watched the river take away
All those awful hurts from today.
