Beauty in Rain

By Kittyisme0341

Picture a priceless relic,

All covered in muck and decay.

It's beautiful splendor is hidden

All covered in drab shades of gray.

The Rain comes along and caresses it.

And slowly removes a lot of

The dirt that completely covered it.

And brings back the colors of love.
