Rain rain go away

Come again another day

Little children want to play

Probably, you're already familiar with this song ( yes, it's a song!). The last time I sang this song was during my pre-shool years. I could still remember my teacher writing it for the first time on the blackboard. She taught us the song. She told us that whenever it's about to rain (or it is already raining) just sing the song and the rain clouds would clear away.

I believed my teacher back then ( What do you expect? I was still an innocent kid!). Whenever it is about to rain I'd sing this song. I would do it over and over again, until there's a sign that the clouds are about to clear away. But that was yesterday...

Just this morning a heavy rain fell. I was a bit disappointed that because I was planning to do some laundry and was planning to go somewhere else. Because of bad weather I decided to stay inside and just watched raindrops fall from the sky. Then after an hour, the rain stopped. I saw something that I haven't seen for months ( It's because of the dry spell, there was no rain for months..tsk3), a rainbow. It was beautiful!

It came to me suddenly, that if not for the rain, I would not see that wonderful thing.

Life's sometimes showered with heavy rains. We would just hope that they would just go away. That we could postpone it for another day until we're ready to face it. We always want to dictate what is to happen. But, life would not be that beautiful, without a little rain. We would not be able to understand beauty without realizing first what is unbeautiful. Life isn't black and white.
