The Rain

If the skies don't shine so bright this day,
I know i can always pray;
worry i shouldn't, flee from those thoughts,
pray to my Jesus, pray to my Lord.

Droplets it will be, rain to avoid,
I am but human, not humanoid;
so pray i repeat, with hopes on the Lord,
bow my head low, rain it must not.

So till the next time, a miracle from God,
I accept my fate, I accept my lot;
for He is faithful, He answers my prayers,
rain it won't, rain it will not.

thanks again, Verlecia; like the saying goes, rain rain go away... but seriously, this "little" phobia of rain is actually not that bad an issue. i have since found another short-cut to home; thank God! and God bless!

Hi! Lisa, thanks for your kind words. I am still very amateurish with this, and need more room for improvement. And yes! I love the Lord for He is always there for us. Just sometimes the rain can be a headache... haha... i'm also happy that you found it nice, i hope to reach a wide audience with more inspirational words, that ultimately glorify the Lord. Cheers!
