The Rain
The Rain
When the spring bursts into bloom again
I come along in showers of rain
Watch as I dance upon flowerbeds
Aiding plants to raise their pretty heads.
Listen to my rhythmic melody
Whether brisk or slow my tempo be
Taste me and drink me abundantly
In quenching cups of coffee or tea.
Luxuriate in me as you bathe
I ease away body aches and pains
Feel the softness of your silky skin
It's I that beautifies from within.
I hydrate trees so leaves grow and glow
And crops grown to feed, row after row
Creatures on land or those in the sea
Are entirely reliant on me.
There'd be no rainbows painted on sky
If no rain ever fell from on high
As I'm passing by in clouds of grey
Thank the Lord that I am on the way.
