Raindrops and Roses

When gray clouds imposed their will upon the sky With roaring refrain thunder replied And raindrops in buckets came tumbling down With life giving waters the earth it did crown As it rained and rained all through the day I watched from my window at my garden's bouquet As the lilacs and violets in fragrant repose Swayed in the wind as did the rose When raindrops met roses that summer afternoon I watched from my window up in my room As the flowers drank this nectar sent from above There meeting it seemed was all about love
