The Rain

 

Man cannot outrun the rain

Despite the desire to flee

And ever postpone the pain

If for a moment I can think of me

Man cannot outrun the rain

Despite the desire to hide

And ever postpone the pain

To wait about a changing tide

When clouds churn in near view

And bring within your soul fear

What becomes of the proud few

Who choose this day not to veer?

Forgoing the worry of what will

And welcome instead her furry

Choosing their fate to fulfill

Hard written lines of life's story

Man cannot outrun the rain

But in time her tempest past

Leaving behind a tested chain

Each link a legacy to last
