Let It Rain

Let It Rain On mountaintops and hillsides In villages and valley floors Let it rain Fall on us through the whispers of the wind Fill our creeks and ditches up to our chins Let it rain Fill our dams, our rivers, and our reservoirs Grant to us the musical raindrops for hours Let it rain On roof tops of tin, asphalt, and tar May your wet drops be heard from afar Let it rain Our summer lawns are no longer green Roses are struggling like I’ve never seen Let it rain The fall trees are late and longing for brown The birds and the bees stare at me with a frown Let it rain The summers have been long, dry, and hot Some farmers quit, because their crops were shot Let it rain The drought has lasted for at least four years Many have experienced the pain along with the tears Let it rain O Lord, many things have changed and will never be the same O Lord, only you can make it rain, as we pray in your name O Lord, wet our appetite for you, and take away our fright O Lord, we plea, let it rain. 12222015(PS contest, about “Rain”)
