Array ( [sid] => 26864 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => rain [time] => 2003-11-11 07:09:33 [hometext] => [bodytext] => i know when the Heavens open and lightening strikes
it causes trouble
it strikes me with fear
and when the lightening bolt hits
i still cry even though the thunder has given me so many warnings
i know that when a storm occurs
the skies produce heavy rain
that falls upon my cheeks
and makes deep puddles in these lonely streets
i fear the rain
i honour the sun

the fact seems strange to that some people actully honour the rain
to them the sun brings nothing but pain

for example in Africa
like me
when they hear the thunder they get a strong emotion
joy
and they thank god when it hammers on their dusty dry mud floors
for this precious clear gift
that he always seems so reluctant to give
they welcome rain
whlist i wish it away

isn't it funny how are lives are different
and the way we live
when i ask santa for my presents this christmas
ill ask for an umbrella
to shield my face from the rain
whlist those children in Africa pray for it
