Showers and Words

Showers and Words

Showers and showers it rains
Thirsty land it drains
Hiding inside lies a seed
Shooting up to quench our need

Never does it know
That it grows a bough
Until it rains
And wets the plains

Words and words it hides
Bright knowledge it lights
Curious inside lies our zeal
A book ignites clogging seal 

Never does it know 
That a life does it glow
Until it is read
Showering pride and bread
