My three year old son has down syndrome, coloboma (iris and retina) and
two holes in his heart. I'm told he may need the holes closed by the
start of summer if not before then.

This is a poem written from a child's perspective of what a rainy day is
all about. My intent was to remind readers to STOP and smell the flowers
in this busy world we live in.

Trickling streams flow down the pane,
Pouring, slowing, dancing rain,
Tip toeing in joyous harmony...
Tapping out vaudeville melody.

Glorious drops, escalating tune,
Lively miracles birthing soon,
Flowers forming below streams,
Rainbows in a child's dreams.

Puddles explode, toddlers play,
Stomping, giggling, rainy day
Melancholy moms sip tea,
Unaware what beauty be.

Stop! Listen! Feel the storm,
Brilliant miracles being born,
Life exploding beyond a pane,
Pouring, slowing, dancing rain.

Thank you so much grieving! I tend to like poems that rhyme too... I
think it goes back to the "Cat in the Hat" days. LOL
