More Than a Blessing

Rain is more than a blessing, watch it from a window pouring... birds take a long bath as little springs form; and kids run outside to get wet and dance in the storm. Rain is good for every tree, pant and flower, and on them we daily rely for food and adornment... plenty of showers in warm spring, thunders in scorching summer; the happy eyes of farmers love to see it fall on fields for a bountful harvest. Without rain the earth would be a huge desert, no plant life would survive in arid soil and the cattle on prairies would aimlessly roam to find a river for their thirst, many will die and the cowboys without their wild horses wouldn't be so festal. Rain is a source of wealth and more than a blessing, it promises pretty roses in bloom, abundant fruits on trees and wheat with golden kernels in the fileds, where those stuffed scarecrows protect them from very hungry ravens; imagine life without rainfalls, it'll resemble the somber moon with dry valleys and canyons.
