Songs on Saturday ~ Rain
some people feel the rain, others just get wet
England, this green and pleasant land, where it rains a lot.
Different from the parts of America, where it’s dusty and hot.
Clouds came floating unbidden into my life, not to carry the life-giving rain, but to hide the beautiful rainbow of love.
Please listen responsibly.

singing in the rain is not my thing
I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket
the state of the arch
On the morning sun.

the beautiful pain of longing

~
man is nothing without love
but love hurts, love is pain
rainbows only follow the rain
dawn’s ephemeral early light
only follows the dark of night
wanting, needing, bringing
the beautiful pain of longing
let her go, release the dove

Relationships are more important than egos
Apologising does not always mean that you’re wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse. ~ Benjamin Franklin

An apology is the superglue of life, it can fix just about anything. ~ Lynn Johnstone

Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past. ~ Tryon Edwards

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down and still somehow, it’s cloud illusions I recall, I really don’t know clouds at all. Joni Mitchell

Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints of tomorrow with prophetic ray. ~ Lord Byron

Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red
Can’t go to school
staying home in bed

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
It’s chicken pox
and I have a fever
~
Mensa, mensae, mensae, mensam…,
I must be ill
Mom called me ‘poorly lamb’
~
The square on the hypotenuse…,
Doctor’s coming soon
I hope for happy news
It’s nice outside today
I want to go and play
~
Je suis, vous etes, il est, elle est, ils sont…,
Mom’s wise to that
back door is locked
~
Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant
So I want to go and play
and Mom says I can’t
Oh well, I’ll just stay here and chant
~
I hate conjugating Latin verbs
