    Hidden By The Rain

     There's a girl on the corner
    She doesn't make a sound
    She's standing in the rain
    And Lord, it's coming down 
    As I watch her from my window
    I can feel her pain
    And I know the tears she's crying
    She thinks they're hidden by the rain
    As my eyes fall upon hers
    I begin to see
    The reflection of the person
    That I used to be
    I can still feel the burdens
    That I carried for so long
    Until I gave them to the Saviour
    And he filled my soul with song
    So I call upon you Father
    Help me find the words to say
    That will lead her to your kingdom
    So she may be with you this day

    I wish I could write something that deep. I love these lines: And I know the tears she's crying She thinks they're hidden by the rain so true. how often in movies are people shown to cry in the rain? perhaps I miss the point, but I am deeply intrigued by the poem's motif.

    This is a very empathetic and uplifting poem. I also love the use of rain. Its interesting bc as a child I was taught that when it rains God is crying, yet in this she is hiding behind the rain while you are trying to ask God for guidance in how to help her... very nice. Very visual and touching.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
