I want it to rain this Christmas Day
I want the rain to
wash my tears away
***
To all the people I love
who are so far away
I want it to rain on Christmas Day
***
To all the people taken away
from their homes
So afraid of dying alone
***
To all those people
I would like to say
I want it to rain on Christmas Day
***
Oh, if I could only find
Some peace of mind
This Christmastime.

Nice one.

I came here looking for poetic whimsy, but found a dang good, surprisingly heartfelt Christmas song that I didn’t know I needed. Well done, good sir.

It’s difficult to comment, as this is rather different to your usual posts. Not saying that those aren’t but this is very moving . The images in the video perfectly complement the mood. Thank you for sharing 💕
