...it's a matter of control...

Puddles...and Rains Puddles clean and clear droplets from Heaven Puddles to jump into or span across Rains to fill bowls quenching animal thirsts Rains to fill streams cleaning away polutants Rains spreading o'er fields irrigating our food-life heavy rains bigger puddles send man and beast to higher ground ruining crops and lifestyles We cannot control rains or puddles... but we can control our lives. © Jackie (Micke) Jinks, June 2010
