The Rain

Rain is one of the wonders of nature Existing now , yesterday and in the future Essential for the very existence of creatures It contributes to maintain green pastures Clouds in the sky announce its arrival Drop by drop it turns into rainfall An important source of water A gift from the Great Master Moistening everything coming on its way It diverts to rivers and bays Bringing food and greenness to the plants Satisfying each and every want Accompanied by the sea breeze It fills lakes and seas Man usually complain about the rain But without it will there be any grain? Lo! Admire the falling of the golden drops Desperately needed for our crops However, an excess can be disastrous For it may engender many catastrophes Remember the era of Noah Who beseeched his people to pray God He used this downpour as a weapon To drown non believers in a severe inundation
