It rained yesterday
Umbrella rainbow of bright colors
Through the rain of summer
A child’s imagination
The laughter and purity of it.
Jogger in many bright colors
Like 40 or more I would say
Along the bike path
Through the summer rain.
Touch of rain in a child’s hands
Fun in the rain
A mother and her child walking
Umbrella of one.
All the joggers jogging one direction
In the eyes of a child
To run and catch the rain.
That he did, from under the umbrella,
Arms and little palm of hands stretch out
To catch the rain of summer
A child’s laughter full of joy
Running and laughing.
Little feet not completely touching the ground
Tip toe of a run like a child’s first steps.
