Poem
It rained on the parish as steeple bells rang A loud burst of thunder screamed out with a bang The doors were all locked which was never the norm A big crowd of people stood out in the storm They looked saturated from head down to toe The rivers were swollen now shone in their flow With puddles reacting in strangest of ways This all seemed quite weird on the sunniest day The leader a man with a full head of hair He shouted some words that he wanted to share “This rain will not stop this is what I believe So I think it’s time that this parish should leave” The crowd that had listened now said with a frown “Why is it that rain always seems to fall down. Whenever we gather, when we congregate It follows us early and follows us late?” When then a small child, he came out to say I don’t feel the rain on this sunniest day I think that this storm that you all want to hide Might just now be coming from deep down inside If only, you’d smile, I know you would see The bluest of skies that are in front of me But that is the problem in this sorrowed town Because you’re not happy, the rains will come down When one of them smiled and then there were two A few more then followed, yes that they did do When suddenly everyone in their own style Proceeded to wear their most wonderful smile The next thing that happened, what came to appear The rainfall it stopped and the skies were so clear This parish then cheered and rejoiced in such joy Because they had listened to one little boy The man with the full head of hair raised the lad And thanked him for making the parish feel glad He now was a hero to all who had come To praise this small child for bringing the sun But he said “no thank you is needed for me Because it was in all of you now you see If you are sad then the rain it will fall But if you are happy, the sun comes to call”
