Rain Purity


A summer shower was photographed by
The child's father and professionally set
in a picture frame a few days later.


One day as he was fixated upon the sound
of the water drops dripping against the window
Panes as well as starring at the picture
Photographed and framed by his father,
The young lad asked his devoted dad,
"Why does it rain?"  The father's reply was,
"It rains to take away some of the pain and
Shame that would otherwise overtake us.

Without the rain, said the dad,  there would
Be more people without purity, without which there would be a world filled with more Shame.

Until that day of gazing into the picture frame,
The lad never realized there was so much
To be gained from the rain.
