Raindrops and Flannel Wraps

February's tenth unfurls, a double thread,
Where rain-kissed streets and comfort softly tread.
National Umbrella Day, a canvas wide,
With vibrant blooms where raindrops gently glide.
Canopies unfurl, like flowers after showers,
Each hue a memory, whispering forgotten hours.
Stripes and plaids, a dance of joy unbound,
As laughter echoes with each drumbeat sound.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, whispers on the breeze,
A symphony of droplets, carried by the trees.
Children's faces gleam, like diamonds in the mist,
Their fleeting joy, a treasure to be kissed.
The city's pulse transforms, a muted din,
A silver world reborn, where worries sink within.
Flannel whispers too, a lullaby in thread,
Woven warmth that shields the heart from dread.
Of crackling fires and stories shared around,
Of moonlit walks where secrets can be found.
Each thread a whisper, stories softly told,
Of autumn hikes where leaves turn red and gold.
Of starry nights, where dreams unfurl their wings,
And shared adventures on mountain trails that sing.
Let the sky unleash its cleansing, silver tears,
Wash away the doubt and conquer all your fears.
National Umbrella Day, a vibrant hue,
Paints laughter's colors in the rain-kissed blue.
And flannel's comfort, like a mother's touch,
A gentle shield, protecting oh so much.
Beneath the weeping sky, a truth untold,
That joy persists, even when shadows fold.
For even raindrops, falling from above,
Can nurture laughter, blossoming like love.
So raise your umbrella high, a joyful sign,
Let flannel's warmth embrace, a love entwined.
For in this day, a message clear and bright,
That beauty waits, in darkness and in light.
Embrace the rain, the comfort, and the rhyme,
And find your joy, one February tenth at a time.
