Drought

Let It Rain

The farmers say let it rain,
old men shooting the breeze
while porch sitting ask when will it rain,
the women canning green beans
in the kitchen are praying for rain,
children enjoying summer vacation
don’t really care if it rains,
but nature begs please
I thirst for the nourishing rain.

"Let It Rain" is a wonderful write/story. What A Great Picture. "Good Luck" I did "Pretty Clouds Let It Rain." Have a lovely day writing away............
