After the Rain

So easy to stand in the pouring rain
And let my tears flow at their will
But where do I go with this heart-breaking pain
When the sun shines on tears as they spill?
And how do I go on with my life again
When He took you but I need you still?

How do I face every long, lonely day?
Every road is wrong, there are none right
I spin round and round, wish you’d show me the way
Still my thoughts are as black as the night
While I dare not put everything out on display
You are there in the poems I write

There is no way of getting to where it began
(Though sometimes I wish it had not)
And if we are all part of some heavenly plan
Was your leaving just part of the plot?
Then perhaps I should thank God for taking my man
And my blessings I lately forgot

It's after the rain that I fall to my knees
Try to hold back the tears as I pray
"My Lover is now in your hands, if you please
And I'm missing him each lonely day
But I know that you took him quite simply for he's
A saint in his funny old way"
