Nothing More From Life by Kellyn Roth

It’s been raining pretty hard for a couple days now. Our yard is pretty drenched. You can’t see the raindrops in this picture, though they were falling pretty thick to the naked eye.

But you know what? I like the rain! And that inspired the following poem:

Nothing More From Life

I ask nothing more from life

Than to stand out in the rain

And smell the air so crispy fresh

And feel myself grow sane.

I ask nothing more of life

Than to in the puddles leap

And walk through the freezing air

And wade through cold stream deep.

I ask nothing more from life

Than a crackling fire

A book, hot cocoa, and a blanket

That is my heart’s desire!

To be fair, this ^ was taken the day before yesterday … before the rain began … as evidenced by the sunlight … but I had to share this adorableness with the world. ;) She has her teddy! Well, technically, my old doll’s teddy. It’s so cute!

Well? What do you think (of the poem, not the cat)? Constructive criticism is welcome! :)
