The Sultan of Sunny Bahrain

The Sultan of sunny Bahrain, 
was caught one day in the rain, 
‘So soothing,’ he said, 
as it splashed on his head 
I hope it happens again. 

The Sultan of sunny Bahrain, 
now wants to stand in the rain,
‘I’m sure it will help, 
to freshen my scalp, 
let’s hope it happens again.’ 

The Sultan of sunny Bahrain, 
still waits to stand in the rain, 
‘I cannot be sure 
it’ll occur once more, 
but I hope it happens again.’ 

The Sultan of sunny Bahrain, 
is sure he will stand in the rain, 
the temperatures showing, 
it soon will be snowing, 
it surely it will happen again. 

The Sultan of sunny Bahrain, 
is standing once more in the rain, 
‘Life feels so complete, 
now it’s washing my feet, 
I so hope it happens again.’

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

There is so much to taking a point of view. This just transported me to a distant space I did not expect to go to this AM. So, a huge thank you for that. If only more folks could take these trips....
