Simplicity

Sigh, small pleasures enjoy more than great; why? In much sadness have recently lain Many days our lives have gone without rain Patiently waited with no little sigh Lain out hose to sprinkle, pray no reply Increased heat upon the earth brought plants pain Circumstances hindred watering again In agony to God once I did cry Thanksgiving I hear coming from the tree Yes, a tree frog or rain frog sings just one Simplicity in life have known before God help me to lean on this much much more

Yes indeed, God's providence is in the rain. Sunshine and rain both blessings from God Almighty. But too much or not enough of either and we die. God Bless, JB

I think we fail to enjoy the simple things. We do not realize how much we depend on mother nature. Enjoyed your poem love phyl
