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
