Nature's Gift
Nature's Gift
Windy night's storm passed, now came soothing breeze
embraced, fallen flowers sprang up with ease.
Where night's fury had vent awesome wrath
dawn's joyous return gave another path.
As clouds parted and glowing sun beamed down
busy was blessed day in this, my town.
Streets were flooded with shopping underway
packed crowds very eager to find and pay.
Breeze picked up, sending cool, brief shower
Nature yet again showed healing power.
Crops soaked in gift of sweet, refreshing rain
so soon, washed away dark storm's enraged pain.
Night's storm flown away, now came soothing breeze
flying everywhere were the birds and bees.
