May Showers
Drops of rain give life to flowers born in May.
The white azalea for a time have their pure way.
In luscious ecstasy of a perfumed flower,
the gifted roses have dominion in wet hour.
Then the tulip bulbs burst forth in their full bloom.
Rain can’t damper their performance at high noon.
May showers work like hidden elves at night.
By the morning we'll have colors of delight.
They finish off the task of bringing spring around.
Trees are clothed with green array, not bare or brown.
This beauty can't be captured solely without pain.
Bless May showers for their brief and gentle rain.
