Rain Rain And Rain Again!

Coincidentally I watched a program on National Geographic that addressed the stress that drought has on the lands across the hottest area in the world. Perhaps the thing that is still slow perplexing is where do the fish come from when the waters return to the ponds. I remember watching the transformation of the pond out side of my Infant’s School. I saw when there was no water and then I saw when the pond was full of “thousands” spangling in the sun.

 

Rain Rain And Rain Again!

 

Roll out those hot, lazy, crazy days

And welcome back the rain that halts the craze

It was too long now since we were in drought

No rains or cloudy skies just fires burning about

 

Raise your hands all you like me

And give your thanks to the Almighty

It is He that shed tears from the skies

Nurturing the earth when He heard our cries

 

All your prayers were not in vain

Now we finally have back the rain

Drains quenched of their burning thirst

 

Rains that visited the plants in the farmers’ beds first

And now fish again in ponds and flying insects in the air

I see the foliage smile with blossoms everywhere

New flowers bloom and the people in the streets

 

All welcome the quelling from the burning heats

Grass looks green and there are fruit on the trees

A bird bathes in the puddles and I see busy honey bees

It’s such a beautiful change in nature when rains fall

No times as wondrous, aren’t you glad God answered our call?
