Down the Windowsill

Watch the rain trickle down the windowsill
Oh how I mourn for the sun
Though the rolling rain is satisfactory for
My amusement; nonetheless it gets old

Quick;
Run out and play in the rain
Just do it, let nostalgia take over
Jump in those puddles
Twirl your arms around
Yell those forbidden curses
You're only a child once. 

Now soaked in my childhood
I danced; jumping with joyful head nods
My hair danced with me

The sun doesn't need to show itself
Our smiles were bright enough
We all laughed and yell allowed

All while I watched the rain trickle
Down the windowsill.
