Of Flowers and Rain

 

After having the Les Miserables song "A Little Fall of Rain" stuck in my head for longer than it should be stuck there, I decided to make it even more stuck by Googling the song. Smart right? I know.

Anyway, putting "flowers" and "rain" together in the search bar, I found this quote that is really more like a poem, that was written by an unknown author.

Sometimes it takes rain
To make the flowers grow
Sometimes it takes real pain
Before real joy one knows
Sometimes it takes tomorrows
To understand days gone by
Sometimes before the laughter
There comes heavy sigh
Sometimes it takes the midnight hour
To value morning light
Sometimes it takes the longest mile
Before things come insight
Sometimes you often wonder
Why your heart can get so sore
But its the rocky paths in life
That makes you cherish the smooth roads more!

Well, I guess the poem is quite true, isn't it? We tend to take things for granted or just choose to be ignorant about certain things, until something or someone comes and knock us on our heads. Then we go all "ouch!" and hold our lebam-ed head while thinking "oh ya hor, why didn't I realise this earlier?"

That being said, I don't really get why the author associated rain with pain other than the fact that they rhyme  xD I mean, flowers and joy I can understand. Flowers make people happy and all smiley-faced :D But rain and pain? I actually like rain and so I genuinely don't get what rain has got to do with pain. Again, other than the fact that they rhyme xD

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!
