Don'T Wait 'Til Its Raining

Life prods us hard in the race to succeed. But why push so hard when we've more than we need? Too many men fail to see God’s good favor Until weather forbids them their toil and their labor. If the clouds rule the day, with their dark consternation, Before we will pause to obey inspiration, Then our verses will echo that tone of foreboding, And darker we'll wax while our lives are imploding. So “work while the sun shines”, yes, “work with a will”,* But take a break often and pick up your quill To write about things that are happy and funny. Don’t wait ‘til its raining. Act now, while its sunny! * From the Hymn "Today, While the Sun Shines" by L. Clark
