Perpetual Devotion

For every drop of rain that falls From the heavens far above A little flower bursts forth with life A testament to eternal love It's a symbol of perpetual devotion A tribute to that age old appeal In the very truest sense of belonging Each day the signs are revealed Amazing, a word that's often used To try to describe this evolution The way of life since time first began The supreme consummate solution For every drop of rain that falls The world is refreshed and renewed A rainbow of glorious profusion Giving earth its colourful hue © Jack Ellison 2012

Wow...gorgoeus poem, Jack. I'm in love with this one. "In the very truest sense of belonging" is my favorite line. So beautiful how you begin the poem and wrap it up so warmly. Always, Laura

"You dirty rat you!" Sounds like an old James Cagney line! LOL But you probably wouldn't know about James Cagney, eh... you're much too young! What an old smoothie, eh! Big huggeroonies!

Wow... whatever I plant doesn't usually make it. The suirrels dig up the bulbs to eat... The dogs dig and run thru it... and I think I over water it a bit... You know how it is... if one drop is good a gallon or two must be better... LOL Here you are trying to be serious... and I'm on a roll... See what you've done to me... I'm ruined... LOL
