Mother Nature's Way
The sun is smiling through the falling rain
Sending sweet rays through the crystal drops,
While at pond’s edge stands a stately crane
Unmoved until the steady downpour stops,
Once again he gorges on sweet goldfish fare
Venturing near the reeded edge and shallow,
When the crane has finished feasting there
Takes his rapid flight toward yonder rainbow.
The sun still smiles at Mother Nature’s way--
The falling rain, the rainbow, the stately crane
Even the fated, golden swimmer had its day,
Beneath the plops of the gentle falling rain.
We are all part of the grand Almighty’s plan
Never to be separated—nature from man.
