After the Rain

No birds today, for there was rain Not just here, but all along the lane Flowers faded this day of gloom Tomorrow will be sunny, watch them bloom No blue skies just filled with gray I’m not worried, it won’t stay Puddles in patches, windows are speckled Clearing tomorrow, colors will be freckled. Soft steady drops, no downpour Replenishes the land, ponds and more It feeds the gardens, helps them grow Maybe you will spot a double rainbow.
