I miss

Getting drenched in first showers of the season

When being happy never needed any reason

I miss

Huddling under an umbrella which bestowed glee

Causing sibling rivalry and squabbles to flee

I miss

Going to school, hand in hand

Splashing water in puddles, warrantied joys grand

I miss

Playful sounds of prancing drops crashing on concrete street

Which were enhanced by exuberantly stomping feet

I miss

An unexpected “rainy-day” holiday

Which offered joyous extra-time for play

I miss

Spotting an occasional rainbow which was a perk

Day was fun, without home-work.

I miss

Those golden days of yore

Such blissful childhood, I wish I could restore

I miss

Sailing paper boats on muddy puddles

Wading through nostalgia, ornate memories ripple.
