Refreshing Showers

The creator who made our universe
sends  many things down here from up high
one of these is good clean fresh water
something we don't appreciate, O dear why?

Being a Scot living in my homeland
we seem to get more than our share
even in the summer it still comes rain
it makes one think at times this isn't fair

It has its benefits this wet stuff
we can walk through its many showers
when we've had a real humid spell
refreshes us and even feeds the flowers

Sometimes the weather forecasters are wrong
they say it'll be nice but rain spoils the plan
so always good to carry waterproofs just in case
these refreshing showers come all to a man

In reality, you can get a real soaking
then at times, it's a sprinkling to a spot
but without this rain where would we be?
so very dry, ask for a cool drink would we not?

Thanks Jan, So true it's same up here in Scotland we complain when it's wet but then realise the crops need the rain. Blessings, Gordon

Hi Gordon, those lovely showers. A most wonderful look at the cleansing water, the angel's tears as I sometimes call it. I like nothing more than a walk in a shower to clear the cobwebs of the mind and start the creative juices flowing. I enjoyed reading this piece this morning. May the angel's tears ever refresh. Have a wonderful friday. Your friend always....Mike.
