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.

Well, John welcome to the Poetrysoup family. Love the rhythm wonderfully versed. Greater things are within your words that you are aware of. You let The Lord God flow through you. Great job again.. my motto is "There's praise in words and words in praise" WRITE ON James---:D

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!
