The Rain Song

I was asked to write a nature-themed short poem for a 12 year old's poetry recital at school. Here it is:

So there is this thing,
This thing I want to do
Splash on a puddle
Drink a raindrop or two

Feel the damp earth beneath my feet
See the umbrellas on the street
The rains are here again
The rains are here again
Oh I just love it in the rain!

So there is this thing,
This thing I want to hear
Raindrops on a tin roof
Stopping on the window near

The smell of damp earth under my feet
Rainbow umbrellas on the street
The rains are here again
The rains are here again
Oh I just love it in the rain!

Joyful showers shared with friends
Hot cups of cocoa with my family
The rains are good to me
The rains are good to me.
