A Sweet Ride

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



As clouds give way to sunshine
I'll be really really glad
Because You found me faithful
And You upheld all I had

Many just see rain drops
As I see tears of joy
Because I know God's coming back
To get this little boy

He looks and smiles proudly
Others think I'm half insane
They'll never know the joy I get
While riding in the rain

    My wife, Bette and me often when we were young and foolish
    Would walk in the rain hand in hand and getting soaking wet !
    Soaking hair. clothes and all, we loved it, it's young love and you only get one chance !
