On A Rainy Day Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

The morning air was very cold,
And the sky was extensively grey
On that heavy rainy day.

It invited me to write...
Some heartfelt common lines
From the bottom of my heart.

As the rain was heavily touching the ground,
I thought of thousands of homeless around
Without a shelter, food and care
In the urgent need of a family,
Which would be fair.

The rain had already stopped
When someone knocked at my door.
I saw a young couple barefoot,
Who, for so little, blessed me and my family galore.
