Answered Prayers

.  
                    breath of morning rain...

                    a gentle benediction

                    over fields of wheat



Growing up in the country...
a farming community worries over lack of rainfall
....a blessing is a good year of rain...

First I will comment on your comment to my Edge walker, it was a real encouraging comment. I know i love messing with my poetry, I just felt as if i had to write the edge walker. Thank you for the notice. You are a spirit lifter here on the soup, no wonder why many consider you a favorite. Take care,..Sidney LeeAnn

There are times when a good rain is most welcome and you added a spiritual quality in the second line that works nicely, Carrie. Good luck in Rick's contest. Love, Carolyn
