Now if I was a photographer,
A flash of life catcher,
I would have taken a bundle of wonder shots,
Close up captures,
Zoom in and out raptures
In high resolution
Of His high inspiration.
Rainy day babes
In pure innocent manifestation,
All hand-in-precious hand,
Came crossing my path
Making perfect my thought-tossed day.

Came crossing my path
This bright sassy caravan,
Yellow, minty green, lavender,
Pink and baby blue slickers
Parading down stormy weather sidewalks.
Little city trippers,
Stompin' rubber ducky boots,
Curious wide-eyes
Peaking out of matching pastel caps.
A pint-sized rainbow of giggles and awe
Bearing testimony to the miracles of the world.

And if I was a photographer,
I would have stopped my day
In the middle of this photo flash fortune,
Framing picture after picture
Of His rainy-day delight.
Children as honest as God's nature,
God's nature reigning
From season to season,
And I would have been humbled to display
His handy work on my wall . . .
