Rain drops

tears falling from Heaven
landing on blossoming flowers
dripping down chilled windows
flowing through streets and sidewalks
running along side rivers
causing mud puddles
dampening the atmosphere
and darkening the brightest of days
beading blades of grass with jewels of water
tickling children's tongues
as they dance beneath the trickling rain
