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

G'day Timothy … a single raindrop leads to all life. As I read from line to line I agree more and more with your philosophy Timothy - a nice tribute - Lindsay
