rain


baby crying at her side…one on the way
aged beyond her years hunched
as if the weight of the world is on her 
with the first drop of rain….comes the first tear
she is alone now…lost and confused
never been there before…doesn’t know what to do
shaking uncontrollably…baby screaming 
putting her hands to her face 
the rain pours as if were tears…her tears
the baby settles in a seat
she steps out into the rain…drops to her knees
searching…hoping for answers
