Rain

By:Lisa Easterling

rain on the roof
reminds me of when
i wished i could savor
tomorrow again
but something must always
deliver a blow
and conquer what whispers
would nourish to grow
today in my knowing
of yesterday's pain
i throw my umbrella
against falling rain
somehow i will carry
my questions aloof
denying the crying
of rain on the roof
