RAIN FELL LAST NIGHT, by                    
Last Line: I held you in my arms and slept.
Subject(s): Tears


Rain fell last night -- quiet, gentle rain
That tapped against my window pane
And called me back from troubled sleep
To soothe a heart too numb to weep.
My loneliness was deep and real,
And like a wound that will not heal,
It throbbed within me, and I knew
My arms were empty without you.
But as I listened to the sound
Of soft rain falling on the ground,
I heard your voice, tender and clear,
Call my name, and, oh, my dear,
I threw my window open wide
To let the sweet rain rush inside.
It kissed my lips, my eyes, my hair,
And, Love, I knew that you were there.
Tears that my heart could not release
Fell down from heaven, bringing peace.

Last night while grey clouds softly wept,
I held you in my arms and slept.
