It's rainytime, and amid the beauty of new life, it will rain, and it will rain, and rain. The sun will hide behind the clouds, and the sparrows and robins will seek shelter. But afterward, the birds will veer from their nests to sing anew and delicate buds will blossom beneath the kiss of the sun. And you'll discover your own rainbow.
