Delicate droplets of rain, calmly embracing the earth
Caressing all the tiny seedlings, encouraging rejuvenation and rebirth
They hold tightly knit together, in what appears to be friendly cuddles
Unable to resist frolicking through them, the warmth of welcoming puddles
A joy to behold whenever they come, they are but a matter of perspective
They are a blessing in disguise, positive attitudes are elective
Summer sunshine freely dances, upon your welcoming shoulder
A daily replenishing of sorts, another day passes and time gets older
Despite all of your valiant efforts, the ever-present winds of life prevail
Adapting and overcoming is second nature, you have learned to reset your sail
Your reflection slowly begins to ripple, as another drop gently descends
The best things in life are free, and meant to be shared with family and friends
Skipping moments in time is unwise; make your hay while the sun shines
The great outdoors beckon you; puddles are one of the signs
Ebbing the tides and surfing the waves, trees and their branches shimmering
The moonlight serenades us all, with its constant beautiful glimmering
Everything occurs, as it rightfully should, underneath the pale moon light
Seemingly, unbiased things take shape, not bothering to question wrong or right
So take that extra little bit of time, do it right now instead of after
Jump in those puddles with your children, become ensconced in their laughter
Night-time quiets your neighborhoods; all sorts of people all dreamily off to sleep
Tomorrow there will still be mountains to climb, but perhaps they will not seem quite as steep
Puddles have such a short lifespan; you must embrace them while they last
For when the final bell tolls for thee, you will regret all of those puddles that you passed
