Analysis of After the Rain



After the Rain
by Max Burchett

It was famously said,
Love comforts like sunshine after rain.
An expression of hope for what is ahead,
A mantra for those who have known pain.

Rain it will, on the just and the unjust.
Pray that for the fortunate, for yourself, that the saying remains.
That the bard’s line is truth, and for you there must
Be love that will give comfort after the rain.
