Analysis of Rain



When it rains the sound is wonderful
Air so clean and fresh
A sky so beautiful
My mind lost in a daydream
A heart now so cheerful
Drops of beauty falling from heaven
Landing upon my face
Feeling so cool and clean
Dripping into my mouth what a taste
How I love the rain

Patricia Jean Rathbun

I was in a car wreak in 1998. I was hit head on by a drunk driver. He died and I lived. The left side of my body was crushed and right broken. It easier to list what was not broken the what was… But now I am fine and walk like nothing ever happened. I don’t run any more as my left leg wont let me. But I have my leg…So I am grateful.I have been a mother and a childless mother I have had every thing taken away from me. But I have never given up. Now this mother has all five of her kid's. Want to know more...http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&Just one of my crazy thoughts....Do you know why God made kittens so cute? So when you walk into the bathroom full of shredded toilet paper, Or Walk in to yarn strung all over your bedroom floor, That came from the almost finished blanket you spent hours knitting, gone. Or You slip and fall on the fish tank water is all over the living room floor. You done kill them. They look at you with that cute little fuzzy face, And those big bright beautiful trusting eyes. With all the charm and innocents in there expressions. Your heart melts. God made them so cute to keep them alive. So they may live long wonderful lives. more…
