rain on the brain

rain, rain, please do stay,
for our children love to play
in their new slickers and boots,
which were among their christmas loot.
when we awoke on this sunday
the sky outside was wet and gray.
interest in church there was none --
til they thought of raincoat fun.
so while others go back to bed
because of rain, for us instead
when we want to worship our Creator ...
rain is quite the motivator.  

note: susanna is holding the crown liam made in sunday school in honor of the three kings. kind of random without an explanation. or, should i say, a raining explaining. (is that a bad rhyme? please, no complaining.)
