Rain

Do you fight the rain, or embrace it?
Do you back down or do you face it?

The rain hits hard, no one denies that
Yet it's also bearable, you must realise that
It may be unpleasant, or better from afar
Sounds better on the windows or roof of a car

But what if you know you'll have to walk in rain?
Do you live your life inside in full restrain?
Do you go outside, but only reluctantly
Protect what you can, shield your body lovingly

Or do you go out with open arms
No shield from rain, no shield from harm
The rain will pass. It's not that bad.
Your body adapts. Do not be sad.

Sometime you need to dive in, and let your mind be open.
You don't chose life's conditions, just how you approach them.
