A single drop of rain
Fell upon my cheek
I don’t know where it came from
And I don’t know what it means
It traveled down my face
Until it dropped
And made it’s way
Onto my breast
It continued down
At first it was cold
But now so very warm
I don’t know why
I did not wipe it away
But it just felt right to let it stay
So on it went
Down my body
As though it was single minded
It had a mission, though yet unknown
But continued on, it did
Onto my hip and then my thigh
I watched and I don’t know why
I am so enthralled by a drop of rain
But I watched until it was gone again
Life can be like a single drop
It takes a journey we can not stop
So when all is said and done
We can look back at that path and say well done
