Jewels From the Sky

The little rivulets of water run off down the glass, Watching the rain trickle, sadly they said it would pass. The drops roll from the top of the car as if in a race Joining together at the bottom at quite a fast pace. On the windscreen it looks like a deluge rushing down These tiny droplets of clear water that make us frown. No washing can we put out again today The grass stays uncut for yet another day. The spherical droplets one at a time Individually beautiful, and so clear that they shine. A tiny droplet of water so clear Joined with others they can cause such untold fear. They can knock down a building and wash away a dam They cause so much damage to anything they can. But without these droplets of water from the sky We would none of us be here, we all would die. They are tiny droplets of life that we see. If only we could enjoy with a full certainty Of controlling the little jewels that fall from the sky We would all feel better in the rain, both you and I

this is a wonderful way to describe rain. I lived a bit near Seattle as a child. Did not like it at all,though it's beautiful green. I think I prefer the dry climates! Luv, Andrea
