Have you ever found yourself exclaiming, "Oh now, it looks like rain?" Have you ever considered what the sun would do without rain? All of life depends upons a balance of nature. That inspired this poem.

Look for the Silver Lining


 


So, the sun did not come out this day.


The sky is dark and moist and gray


You fear this day will bring us rain


So what is the reason for your disdain?


The rain is a vital part of living


It takes away nothing, it is intent on giving


Wonderful life to all and good health as well


The rain helps make the plants and help them grow and swell


Into wonderful green and beautiful fulfillment


Giving marvelous life to the entire environment.


Then the rays of the sun along with the rain can bring


About the beauty of the flowers about which we all love to sing.


So be not dismayed by the cool rainy days


Let not your souls be shrouded in the haze


Of the cool rainy weather for it is all part


Of the life that we live which will soon warm the heart.


Come rain or come shine, it makes little matter


They both add to the life so let us not be the sadder


To see the rainy days appear as you know they surely will and do.


For they come to water the beautiful flowers blossom and live for me and for you.

And as David said, "This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Well said, Lew. Nice easy-to-ready writing style, too.

God Bless!

So very, very true - Jesus had the perfect balance - So God said we must have balance in all things - to be out-of-balance is to be abnormal.

I agree with your contention entirely - there has to be balance in everything; in the way a motor is tuned, in what we feed our bodies, in how we respond too, and share with others, etc. etc. etc.



An excellent premise for this thought-provoking poem.



Richard

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
