The Rain

Rain is one of the wonders of nature
Existing now , yesterday and in the future

Essential for the very existence of creatures
It contributes to maintain green pastures

Clouds in the sky announce its arrival
Drop by drop it turns into rainfall

An important source of water
A  gift from the Great Master

Moistening everything coming on its way
It diverts to rivers and bays

Bringing food and greenness to the plants
Satisfying each and every want

Accompanied by the sea breeze
It fills lakes and seas

Man usually complain about the rain
But without it will there be any grain?

Lo! Admire the falling of the golden drops
Desperately needed for our crops

However, an excess can be disastrous
For it may engender many catastrophes

Remember the era of Noah
Who beseeched his people to pray God

He used this downpour as a weapon
To drown non believers in a severe inundation
