Sweet Release In the Desert

Sweet Release In The Desert Water splashing mightily into hungry eager soil. Desert people see clear sign from the heavens Sweet relief from day to day, dry and sandy toil Carried out in a horrible year full of severe sevens! Praise thee! For what reward was this flood sent? Perhaps a life saved, a dear sweet child born Or the crying and stored love that was spent On magical dawning of this blessed new morn! Above, white clouds show image of an angel singing Cool winds now wash over thirsty tribe below Now vanished, huge tears and sad hand wringing For this miracle was, as great as Christmas snow!
