Catch the Rain Where It Falls When It Falls
Those are priceless pearls, the prize of paradise
falling in drops, for the life of all dwellers of earth to rise;
Leaving the castle of clouds, carrying blessings & bliss of living
healing thirsty throats, giving brown leaves a green coating;
But let’s save our life, these drops before nature gives us warning calls,
open your palm & eyes, catch the rain- where it falls, when it falls!
When was the last time we uttered a `thank you’ to rain
as we jumped in puddles, left paper boats sailing in our lane;
But now our little fingers have strong to take an oath
to shield and save every raindrops of some million worth;
So let the voice of our gratitude echo in all the caves and halls,
open your palm & eyes, catch the rain-where it falls, when it falls!
Let the blue of the blue planet stay bright, for a greener shade
as the raindrops caresses every lake, river, ocean and cascade;
The hand of clock is ticking fast, like counting our sins to pay us back
and nature’s cursing us for the inhumanity, humans did back to back,
Now let’s calm its rage & store our plans of protection in our rack;
Let it not flow out, the ricochet and hit of raindrops on rooftops,
Let just save it, harvest it to harvest healthy bright crops;
So let the mission to store these precious wet stones stand tall,
Catch the rain, where it falls, when it falls..
