Thunder Gives Its Preceding Applause

Thunder Gives Its Preceding Applause The Rain gifts blessings multi-fold, aided by its sister Wind, earth reaps. Bounties plentiful, harvests gold , as into awaiting soil it seeps. Fields cry for the coming spray, showers sent to man and beast. If withheld we begin to truly pray, so that we live and may have a feast. Echoes in Heaven announce the Rain, thunder gives its preceding applause. A gift, same as in our births pain, we must conform to Nature's laws. Skies above gift this blessing down. Upon earth's thirsty, waiting gown. Robert J. Lindley, 07-18-2015 Note- Nature's gift, this bounty we receive, Gods love, even as Satan deceives Look up to give returning praise, for from death only He was ever raised...
