Turn Your Umbrella Upside Down

In a rain 
downpour
to keep from 
getting wet,
we open 
an umbrella
put it 
overhead,
but yet........
I wish 
to make
a suggestion,
that may 
take 
a moment
to catch on,
for after 
giving this
quite some 
thought,
an idea 
upon me 
did dawn!

There is 
another
type of 
downpour
for which 
this tool 
could be 
used!
Now 
take a second,
and give it 
some thought
for this 
new use
I doubt 
you'll refuse!
If the 
downpours
are blessings 
from Heaven,
in such 
"ABUNDANCE"
that you wish
not to 
drown,
you might 
want 
to consider
trying to 
catch 
every drop....
"by turning 
your 
umbrella
upside down!!!"

The very 
idea
that the 
floodgates 
of Heaven
would be 
opened 
with such 
a deluge,
means the 
downpour 
of blessings
would cover 
the earth
WOW!!!....
Now this 
would really 
be HUGE!!!
So I hope 
in your 
life
good things 
come your 
way
that give you
big smiles 
and 
no frowns,
because 
when it does
you'll want 
to be 
prepared....
"by turning
your 
umbrella
upside down!!!"

Beautiful! I really like the concept here, and the blessings from heaven, what a lovely thought. Who know I’ve been using my umbrella wrong this whole time! ;D I also enjoyed the way you structured your piece, and the flow was excellent and smooth. Thanks for sharing your work!

I was so excited I tripped over my tongue. Forgive the Freudian slip. It is an excellent verse about a fantastic philosophy. Blessings do shower down each day like raindrops and we should all be more thankful. There are many who have nothing.
