THE RAINS' LAW
A gray morning, chill breeze,
Chirping birds and quivering trees;
Pregnant clouds, a warning thunder,
An explosion in the sky, a torrential shower!
A splash here, a puddle there;
On the mud here, on a flower there;
The rain lashes on without a care;
Before you know, it's everywhere!
Man or woman, dark or fair;
Bird or beast, of the ground or the air;
The scurrying mouse or the prancing hare;
The docile pet or the wild bear!
The young or old, cowardly or bold;
Are all encompassed in its fold;
The rains make no distinction, told or untold;
On the backs of all, their pleasures unfold!
On lush fields and parched land;
Mercies are extolled, by the skies benign!
A multi-hued rainbow after the rain;
A treat, a reward, for pulling through the pain!
A little more here or a little less there;
A reversal next time, so the balance is always there!
A boon for one, a curse for the other;
AS ONE SEES IT -
A Blessing from Above, or a Banal Shower!
