Walking on a street
I saw a puddle 
Reflecting the blue sky 
Amidst  dark clouds

Wanting to hop
And make a splash
My shiny shoes 
Sadly, held me back

Soon Life went by 
like passing clouds
And the Summer of life
Was all around

I stroll on the streets 
Whenever it rains
Looking for the puddles
To heal my pain.
