Small Drop of Rain

God hands me simplicity 
in a small drop of rain
"This is all that you need,"
He smiles as He explains,
"Just keep life simple
enjoy the small wonders,
a laugh from a child
the crack of the thunder.
Believe in the beauty
the wonder
the glory
don't complicate life
with frantic worry and hurry.
Slow down
breath in
taste each separate day.
Believe I am with you
Guiding your way.
You are here for a purpose,"
He winks and smiles broader,
"Lose all that baggage
that makes it much harder.
Those possessions are worthless,"
He laughs wih His eyes,
"You can't take it with you,"
He reaches around and unties...
and it all drops away
no more burdens, no more pain.
And He nods as He leaves me
with His small drop of rain.
