A LITTLE RAIN… TODAY

The road was dark,
and dawn made it grey.

I seen a little rain today.

Saw a man dyin’,
and the sheen of tears
in his eyes,

… dark lonely eyes, in mine.

… and his hand reachin’ toward me.

I seen a little rain today.

We all broke down and cried,
when he gasped, … and died away.

I seen a little rain… today!

The children held their Mother
… close,
and all the tears fell,

Raining.

Raining tears!

……… I saw the Nam,

… the most.

The Nam!

I seen a little rain today.
