Raindrop

Raindrop falls from God's eye and runs off the cheek of the child cowering behind a dumpster for warmth It stings the face of the roofer struggling to finish the job to buy shoes for his children The villager raises his hand to raindrop as it fills his rice paddy Raindrop cleans the air and reminds us of new beginnings Raindrop gives its life force to the raging oceans, seas, rivers and the mighty rainforests Raindrop races to crash out of the riverbank on its course of destruction He cools the early evening after a long hot day He travels on an iceberg and lives in the depths of the Earth He decides to show his crystals to happy children on a white Christmas morning He falls on summer night and rises to a foggy sunrise Raindrop gives the farmer a huge smile as it falls to do it's work Raindrop reminds us God is good as it joins the rainbow on its journey back to Heaven For raindrop is eternal and is with us today, gone tomorrow and will surely return someday Raindrop Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Craig Cornish 11/15/18
