Raindrops

Refreshing, rejuvenating crystal clear Always welcome to water our gardens I love walking in the warm summer rain Need an umbrella or a rainproof coat Deluge of water can take us by surprise Really love the freshness after the rain falls Often we moan but we can’t do without the rain Precious diamond drops refresh our soils again Sunshine after the rain and a glorious rainbow brightens the sky Jan Allison 20th June 2014 ~awarded 3rd place~
