Rain on the roof

It's getting late and I should be sleeping. I have church in the morning. Yet I find myself lying here, comforted, yet kept awake by the sounds of the rain.

I don't know what it is about the rain. Ever since I was little, it has lulled me to a deep sleep. It's steady rythem comforting, it's pitter-patter melodious. I remember as a little girl I would lie in bed and just listen, I could almost feel the worries of the day melting from my body. I felt almost as if the rain wrapped me in its arms and rocked me to sleep. It's how I feel right now- at this moment. The stress is gone, my heart, mind, soul, and body are all relaxed as I lie here ready to fall asleep.

I smile as my eyes begin to flutter closed, the exaustion from the day and the song of the rain finally getting the best of me. pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
