Soft Rain Drops

Soft raindrops fall like dew drops upon the grass As I walk wearily down my street with this heavy load alone No, it’s not a nature walk, but a walk to clear my head Because he’s not free to take a walk, I walk for him and me In hope, the rain will wash away the pain for him, I feel Suffering shared, so easily conveyed, by the tears I shed But soft rain walks with me out here And gently kisses my face Camouflaging my flowing tears Yet, as I come 'round the bend to my front door, My leaden spirit slowly rising I see my rose bush thriving with Remarkable abundance of buds! Soft raindrops fall, like dew upon the grass Gently kissing each bud in view I smile and I realize that like the beautiful rose Out of this pain we will grow For God sends soft raindrops to ease growing pain
