Waiting for Rain

by Aditi Vishwanath aged 13

Seeing black clouds appear, makes me feel happier,
I start waiting for rain, forgetting all my pain.
When a drop of water falls on me, I feel joyous and very free,
I run away for getting wet, along with my cute little pet.
But, Alas! Clouds disappear, and the sizzling sun reappears,
Me and my pet feel disappointed, desperate and disheartened.
We dreamt to dance in the rain,
we dreamt to jiggle in the rain, we dreamt to sing in the rain,
but it didn’t rain; all in vain.
We waited for rain, again and again,
I say, “Almighty! Please shower us with rain”, and again dream of jiggling, dancing, singing, yet it isn’t raining.
