Raining



Down it comes. Falling from the sky.
Summer wet and damp. Folks ask WHY? 'Tis not condusive to a day at the beach. Picnics and swimming, out of reach.
The rain, my garden welcomes by.
Who's soil not long ago, was dry.
Green and lush the foilage grows.
Were not for rain, mere dust would blow.
The heat, unbearable just a week ago,
Now gone and folks spout weather woes!
How quickly the sunshine we forget,
When open clouds cause us to be wet!


At night, its rhythm comforts me,
Pitter patter and pouring beat.
Whilst listening to this wet lullaby,
Drifting off to sleep, in a bed thats dry.

Susan, I just read your post about Carol. Okay, will someone please pass me a Kleenex? What a beautiful tribute to such a courageous woman...! It's wonderful. And I'm so happy she's doing well now. I like to hear things like that.

Now, if you would just do something about this rain. There are mushrooms growing on the mushrooms.
