Warm Feelings of a Spring Rain

Warm feelings of a Spring rain on my face Turning upwards toward the heavens, In appreciation of God’s endearing mercies Thank you, Lord! Reaching down to every person with love -- Spring rain, flowing over me like His grace, Reminding me of the fresh feel of freedom. Thank you, Lord! Warm feelings of a Spring rain on my face Running down my cheeks like the tears Which flowed when I first knew I was saved Thank you, Lord! Spring rain, nourishing the seeds we plant, Causing the blooms to lift their heads Skyward, to receive the gift of the Almighty. Thank you, Lord! FIFTH PLACE WINNER Written Sunday morning, March 6, 2022 for “Spring Rain or Spring Flowers” Poetry Contest sponsored by Regina McIntosh FIRST PLACE WINNER Brian Strand Contest 1094 March 23, 2022

Congratulations on your win. A wonderful write. A spring rain with singing wind chimes makes my day. Then the flowers show up. Have a blessed day writing away.........................

I like the "thank you Lord" parts in repetition the best!

Thank you, Caren. I write very few "religious" poems, but this one came rather naturally. Actually, I was writing it in tercets, but the refrain "Thank You, Lord" just seemed to really fit.
