Listening and wondering, Isn’t life beautiful? Rainy morning meant Listening to the quiet of a sleeping world Listening to the birds come alive with their chirps, Listening and wondering, Isn’t life beautiful? Rainy days meant Listening to my daughter’s shrieks of delight Listening as she splashes in the puddles beside us Listening and wondering, Isn’t life beautiful? Rainy days mean Listening to the painful memories of my family now gone Listening to the grief welling deep inside me. Listening and wondering, Isn’t life beautiful? Rainy nights meant Listening to the snores of my husband beside me Listening to the thunder that near drowns out those snores. Listening to the song of the bird in the trees. Wasn’t Life Beautiful? Rainy days meant Listening to the pitter-patter of rain drops on rooftops.
It’s feeling empathy for someone else, specifically for someone who lost their whole family and their love of life. This poem is connected to To Kill A Mockingbird because when Atticus tells Jem and Scout to ‘walk in someone’s shoes’ before judging them, this is walking in someone’s shoes.
