Rain in Gutters

I appreciate the sense of safety and security that the sound of a gentle rain pinging against the gutters brings. I have the luxury of being calmed by its lullaby, all while staying warm and dry in the house. In these days of the insecurity and loss of covid-19, I do not take this comfort for granted. I will not say I am lucky because to say so implies that I should feel gratitude for my fortune, yet this is a comfort we all should have. I feel profound sadness and rage for those denied these essential human rights. Healthcare and housing are human rights. My heart breaks for the way my country (US) has foresaken so many.
