Hey, Mr Sunshine,
where are you today?
Rain is falling heavily,
the sky is dark and grey.
All the kids are stuck inside
with nowhere to play.
Hey, Mr Sunshine,
please come back one day.
Hey, Mr Sunshine,
welcome back today.
The sky is blue and clear and bright,
the rain has gone away.
Now the kids can run outside
to laugh and sing and play.
Thanks, Mr Sunshine,
sure beats yesterday!
We’ve had SO much rain around the country lately that I thought it might be good to write about what you do, see, feel and think about on those rainy days. Do you jump in puddles, wait for rainbows, catch the river rising, surf the waves after the storm, listen to the sound of rain on your tin roof, or do you sit quietly watching the drops running down a window pane?
