Sometimes you’re just not ready to be an adult that day. Other times, you totally got this.
Looks like Rain
The satisfaction of entering a building under
a cloudy sky and exiting
to rain
and opening the umbrella
you remembered to bring
is not, I hope, founded on the people
standing under the overhang
staring at the falling drops in dismay
their hands empty–
but of pride
in your ability to be a successful adult
today
remember that the next time you feel
less than competent to take on
the world
once you held responsibility with a water-proof canopy
and walked, dry, under opened heavens
Oh, most EXCELLENT poem, Caitlin! I reallyreally like this one. 🙂 And I love the meme, too.
Glad you enjoyed it.
