Let It Rain

Let it rain! Oh God, let it rain;
wash away my anguish and pain!
Combine my tears with Spring showers;
and let them water Your flowers.

Purge all doubt from my heart and soul,
till I feel worry-free and whole.
And cleanse the sins of yesterday,
with Your rejuvenating spray.

Behind a veil of drizzling drops,
my tears cease; anxiety stops.
And I feel free to walk away;
from all the lies and hurt today.

Life tastes so amazingly sweet,
I skip along on dancing feet!
And kernels of hope swiftly grow,
encouraging me as I go.

The first line introduces God in the best possible way. It's nice to read about an answered prayer washing away "hate" "sins "pain and lies". Well done, Emile

Hi Emile, Even though I usually associate rain with the pain of loss, I could feel the cleansing power of each drop in your beautiful poem. This is one of the best poems I have read on the Soup. You have an amazing talent and the poem and poet go to my faves! Love and blessings, Carolyn
