I LOVE TO RUN OUT IN THE RAIN

I love to run..
out in the rain..
on a long hot summer day.
It makes me feel alive again..
and free like a bird.
I love to feel the rain..
hitting me in the face.
I love to run..
as fast as I can..
until I can't run anymore.
It makes me feel young..
like a kid again.
Oh, when did I grow up..
and forget how to have fun?
I love to run..
out in the rain..
on a long hot summer day.
