Rain, Rain….Go away

Rain, Rain….Go away

I want to go outside today, but the windows hold me in.
I look outside at everything…I’m reminded of my sin.
I didn’t want to be there – God knows this is right.
As a child I trusted him; I didn’t even fight.
Still, today I remember this….I hold it deep within.
I look outside at everything; I’m reminded of my sin.
People say it wasn’t my fault – I know that they are right.
I should open the door and go on out….this wrong I have to fight.
My boys are growing up, see, and it isn’t fair at all
To keep them in….real close to me – protect them from a fall.
God, help me through the window now and see far past the pain.
Hold my hand as I take a step outside, helping my boys through the rain.

I love the ambiguity (what was the sin, who betrayed etc.)

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
