Taken For Granted

Glassy globules fall, Slipping through sky’s cotton balls; Giving life to all. Dancing through the waterways; How for granted, we take rain.

Lovely, and yes I take it for granted because I love sunny days so much but some days it can be so beautiful to me seeing the rain

I get wrapped up in the music of the rain...good sleeping when it's coming down without the lightning and thunder. Thanks.

I love watching the rain MLK - in fact I so like it when it rains and storms at night that I open the curtains and watch the lightening dance across the sky! Poetry hugs, Jennifer

That can be fun, too; I used to enjoy the lightening until it took out one of my apple trees...too close to the house! It burned it to a crisp. Thanks again.
