Rain

It is raining right now. The sound that it makes as it hits the window panes brings back wonderful memories. I have always loved the rain. For me rain brings promises of new things to come. It brings hope and life. It brings back memories of my childhood when my sisters and I used to huddle close together eating boiled tapioca and fish crackers. A wierd combination but very tasty all the same. Rain reminds me of my last day of school when I had to say goodbye to the best friends that I ever had. And of course it reminds me of Swalk, Melody Fair and Mark Lester with his cherry red lips.
