The Rain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Earth cooling in the rain,
birds rejoicing with song.
It's amazing what joy the rain can bring,
and the lifespans it can prolong.

The flowers and trees are renewed
with each drop that falls their way.
They're completely dependant upon the rain,
to keep them here to stay.

It spreads across the land,
fresh life in its wake.
But it has more than the purpose of watering plants,
it replenishes streams and lakes.

But soon enough, the downpour ends,
and the sun resumes its place.
But I am not grieved for I know this:
It will return to fall on my face.
