Raindrops, raindrops

Plip, plop, plap

Falling on my window

Sliding and wiggling on their way to the ground

Raindrops, raindrops

Tit, tat, tit, tat

Knocking on my door

Do suppose they want a spot of tea?

Raindrops, raindrops

Bam, bam, bam

Splashing on my roof

Sliding into the drain,

Falling into expanding puddles,

Poof, poof

Sheltered from the downpour,

I hide underneath my covers, toasty and warm

I drink hot chocolate,

Overflowing with tiny marshmellows

My book filled with childhood fantasies at my side.

Mom’s in the kitchen

Preparing my favorite rainy day chicken soup

Dad’s doodling with a new project to pass the time.

And my puppy, Mr. Fred is far off in dreamland on our “Welcome” mat.

Raindrops, raindrops

Plip, plop, plap

Falling on my window

Sliding and wiggling on their way to the ground

Soon the sun will peek through the clouds

And dry up all the rain

Until then I will enjoy my rainy day comforts

Smooth and delicious hot chocolate

Warm and hearty soup

Quiet family time

Engulfing blankets

Plip, plop, plap
