Rev. Dr. Samuel Mack Oms Dd Poet Verse

The Pitter-Patter of Rain

The Pitter-Patter of Rain 

I sit here on the porch listening, 
Watching the rain in the night.
Pitter-patter on my roof, 
I thought about all I have gained,
Over all these years of life,

As all I have lost and gone,
As if water washed it all away,
Oh maybe it was all the people, 
And the circumstance that did,
Never to be found, 
retrieved nor replaced again,

The only thing to mend my heart,
 To fill the emptiness within me,
Is Jesus as He had promised,
As the rain kept falling into the night, 
as tears from my heart for you,

 As I was comforted by the pitter-patter,
As the footsteps returning, 
faces to see again,
Words left unspoken, 
now are able to be said

In this life there is only once chance, 
To fully make it right,
-       Resolution and completion    - 
Only you know when it can happen,

A presence in life suddenly washed away, 
Only to return in dreams, 
When my eyes have shut….
To the  pitter-patter of rain, 
Falling in the night.
