There are some days
Where when it rains, it pours
When it snows, it hails
When there’s a cloud, it’s a hurricane
Some days where we only,
Simply,
Pathetically,
Exist.

And then there are some days
Where the rain is a gift
Where the snow is a blessing
When all you want to do
is stand out in the rain and sing
There are some days
When we can’t stop living

The author's comments:
I composed this one, coincidentally, standing out in the rain, realizing that there would be no place I'd rather be than in that rain.
