They’re falling – finally falling
making shiny droplets on the pane.
We’ve prayed in many quiet moments
for elusive, satisfying – rain.
Greens are greener, flowers brighter,
fed with raindrops which abound.
Earth’s creations drink the goodness;
more relief cannot be found.
While the skies are steely gray,
one can fashion thoughts of thunder.
We must never lose the moments
when our world is filled with wonder.
Wonder of the brilliant sunshine,
raising seeds from earth to air;
thus creating worlds of beauty –
leaves and blossoms everywhere.
Stopping on our journey’s path,
let us draw in pictures clearly,
holding them within our memories
to be saved and cherished dearly.
