What can I say about puddles?

Those lifeless circles of rain

That sits on the concrete for no one

Until someone splashes into them

What is so great about puddles?

They are the stepchildren of lakes

And ponds and the real life of water

I guess you can call them all fake

Why do we step in a puddle?

You get all your shoes and socks wet

Yet it's fun to jump in the center of one

And funny when watching your pet

Where do you think puddles come from?

I think that the angels shed tears

Or maybe it's God crying over our lives

And the puddle is what appears

Whatever the reason, the puddle

Is only a statement sky made

Because it wanted attention

And many of us don't like rain
