Change Needed

.




                                                    Long dry spell so hot 
                                         Unpaved road sends billows sheets
                                             Dust in house__ blessed rain







(Remembering when a child, one summer it was more than a month without rain....Then rain 
came in huge droplets...Dust would float up from the raindrops that hit the ground...When we 
finally got rain, it was like one of the greatest blessings from God.)
