I love the rain it's like music,
I love the rain because no one can see me cry for the tings I've done.
I love the rain because it's beutiful.
I love the rain because is's cool on my warm skin,
I love the rain because it washes away all my fears,
I love the rain because it's like the skys crying a thousand tears,
I love the rain because no one can see me for what I've done,
I love the rain and te way it cresses my skin,
I love the way it washes the hurt away, I love the sound the smell the feel,
I love the rain because I know the sun will shine again one day.

The imagery was pretty good, but I think the repetition of "I love the rain" so many times is unnecessary. Yes if you repeated it three times maybe four it'd be ok, but you repeated it a little too many times. Also, the lines are a little long. If you spread the sentences in only a few phrases each stanza, it would have flowed a little better in my opinion. Sorry to be harsh.

&quot;Dear God,&quot; she prayed, &quot;let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.&quot; - Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)
