Rain in Tennessee: A Poem by Michael J. Ruhland

Lonely stream of water running down a hill.

For a moment time stands completely still.

Giving lonely people time to think

and for the drunkard to put down his drink.


It's raining in Tennessee once again.

This is when I miss you most my friend.

But there is no use trying to pretend.

I know you'll never pass this way again.

And when I look upon the ground

is that a raindrop or a teardrop falling down. -Michael J. Ruhland
