I earlier wrote about the strong storms and how nature put on a wonderful show with rain falling horizontally. We needed that rain. It had been hot and extremely dry while others were coping with flooding and more rain than they wanted. Today is as hot as ever but that rain has refurbished the grass, trees and flowers. Oh yes… and us too.


Poem Artwork

Yesterdays storms have come and gone away.

The sun greeted us this morning to start a new day.

 

Somehow the sun seems friendlier and cheerful.

The flowers and grass seem no longer pained or fearful.

 

Into every life some rain must fall.

For without it this would mean the end of us all.

 

The wonder of life is balanced on these weather conditions.

One without the other causes great impositions.

 

The rain brings the water the plants need to survive

So they can gleefully reach for the sun to arrive.

 

When these two weather phenomena’s come to promote one another

They are the sustenance of life, father, mother; sister and brother.

 

The clouds glow with white hanging lazily in the sky of blue.

Their light and beauty is saying, “Hello world; God loves you."
