Rain-Soaked Reflection

Came in from the rain, shadows on his face

Old man's stormy eyes, weathered by the chase

Stumbled through puddles, soaked to the bone

Grumbles under breath, left the cold alone

His coat’s worn thin, his hat’s got a crack

Walking slow, with a stare that’s backtracked

He’s seen the storm, felt the freeze

Got stories deep beneath that crease

Rain on his face, wind his only friend

A grumpy old man, enough to make amends

Come the sun or the rain, he’s still standing

Tough as the storm, weathered and demanding

Old man’s been through, life’s heavy chains

Just come in from the rain, just come in from the rain

Ain't no tears, no, just the weather

Weathered soul, bound together

He’s seen enough, he’s aged like wine

In the rain, he’s for real this time

Slam the door, sighs out loud

Old man proud, in the rainy cloud
