Rain on a green lawn

The lawn in my backyard is now
beautifully green.

Today a sudden rainfall poured down.

I then remembered how, as a child,
we would run out in the summer rain,
dressed in our bathing suites,
enjoying the warm summer rain.

In my other country I cannot
remember any combination of warm rain
and children running outside to get wet.
When it rained in the winter,
it was too cold.
In the summer it did not rain.

The climate was simply different.
