Rainy days and Mondays don’t have to be sad
They will be what you want them to be
You can meet them with despair or be glad
It is up to you for their beauty to see
It may be the gracefulness of the dance
Or the pelting rain upon your face
The sky at a mere glance
Or the quietness of space
Perhaps tingling flashes
Each raindrop ensues
Dance along your eyelashes
Cleansing, washing away the blues
Running, jumping, friends in tow
Lift spirits anytime
Splashing, laughing, all aglow
Warms the heart like sunshine
As emotion amasses
Find the love, seal the romance
Cherish each moment that passes
Feel the rain, enjoy the dance

Lovely Sharla. It is Monday and it is raining, let’s dance!
We actually have sunshine today after rain over the weekend but it is still Monday…a Marvelous Monday! *smile* 😆
‘Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.’ Well the sing came to mind while reading this. 🙂
That is one of my favorite songs! Maybe we should try a duet 🙂
Let’s not get carried away here. 🙂
Hmm, that should be song. 😦
I read it as it you meant!
I get ahead of myself on the keyboard sometimes. 🙂
I love this post Sharla. I lived for 13 years in South Carolina where it rained like Noah’s flood. So I decided to move to Oregon where it hardly ever rains. LOL I’ve learned to accept Nature for what it is. If you waited to do things only when it wasn’t raining you’d be a hermit here. 🙂
Thank you, Bob! I always enjoy hearing from you. Your thoughts are my sentiments purr-r-r-r-zactly! 😆
Beautiful start to my day Sharla, eblogging to share the beauty of your post this sunny Monday here. 😉
Thank you, Len! Hope yours is a Marvelous Monday! 😆

[…] Dance in the rain, savor the raindrops & rainbows, cherish the hours from dusk ’til dawn observing sunrise to sunset, capture the spirit of messages in the wind, enjoy the beauty in the world through the eyes of love! […]
