I, too, love the last line of your poem...
Rain is healing & cleansing... It can be full of joy, free our pain, or at other times rejuvenate and refresh us... on the other hand... it sometimes has the capacity to make me feel as though the heavens are weeping with or for me...

I love your last line. In the context of the poem, it works like magic.

On another note, rain always was magic for me, because I cannot seem to cry. So when the heavens pour down that rain, it gives me such a relief. ...just another testimony to reality of God's love and understanding of our misfortunes. --Charlie

I generally love the rain (I get enough of it) and as I got to the end I sort of expected that you to be capitalized; behind every drop a blessing in disguise (He sees, He knows)
But you ended it right: "you might as well dance in the rain!)"
A great tribute to your friend,
michael (PS: I'm on "black rain" today, a little different theme)

Good poetry, and a pretty good suggestion at the end.
I personally like walking in the rain. There is
something cleansing about the feeling.

great inspiring verse B, it's funny before I read this I wrote a poem on keeping peace of mind, last night I danced because of the rain, the good and bad rain, we handle the bad positively then dance to celebrate the good, most of the time I'm dancing because I didn't let the bad mess up my day, it's easy to dance when everything is good, harder to dance when everthing is bad, embraces

Oh so sad but beautifully written with the ultimate hope at the end. It seems there is much sadness and struggle within so many of us these days...within our minds, hearts, spirits.
My saving grace is walking with Jesus, trusting in His love, sheltering within his peace, and asking for His guiding light.
