Nature's Gift

Nature's Gift Windy night's storm passed, now came soothing breeze embraced, fallen flowers sprang up with ease. Where night's fury had vent awesome wrath dawn's joyous return gave another path. As clouds parted and glowing sun beamed down busy was blessed day in this, my town. Streets were flooded with shopping underway packed crowds very eager to find and pay. Breeze picked up, sending cool, brief shower Nature yet again showed healing power. Crops soaked in gift of sweet, refreshing rain so soon, washed away dark storm's enraged pain. Night's storm flown away, now came soothing breeze flying everywhere were the birds and bees. R.J.
