What Makes It Rain

I love those days, certain special days
when I can tie up my troubles
                         and send them away
 to set them adrift, a balloon in the sky
getting smaller and smaller
                              no wondering why

I love those days, certain special days
when I feel in control, 
                        when darkness abates
when direction is certain
                          and doubt is a fool
     happy and positive thoughts to rule

There are many balloons,
                                  I see in the sky
many troubles adrift,  all set free by
      those who are worried and in pain
I wonder, perhaps 
                  if that’s what makes it rain
