Rain wipes away the sorrow and dread;
cleans off the blemishes from the face of the day;
Washes off all the fear and doubt like a kid licks his fingers clean;
time for a new beginning;
let the new day's light shine.

The author's comments:
I wrote this because some many people don't like the rain, and I love the rain. I wanted to show people that rain isn't as bad as they think. The rain can actually be cleansing.

This is excellent!  My only criticism would be that you should consistently capitalize your words or put in periods when a 'sentence' ends.  Other than that, excellent work! :)

There are so many songs relating to rain and it's healing powers, and this just sums that right up. Nice job!

Some say the world will end in fire,<br /> Some say in ice.<br /> From what I&#039;ve tasted of desire<br /> I hold with those who favor fire.<br /> But if it had to perish twice,<br /> I think I know enough of hate<br /> To say that for destruction ice<br /> Is also great<br /> And would suffice.
