Are a welcome guest to my yard and make me lay so still.
I close my eyes to go back to sleep,
And hope to do so without counting sheep.
Soon the slumber comes back to me.
Still, while I sleep the rain goes on.
The fauna and animals are singing their songs.
Coolness fills the air of the room.
Soon the bed sheets are a cool loom.
The usual day is now gloomy and dark.
Finally, my body wakes for something new.
My morning walk will not find the morning dew.
Yet here I go with an umbrella in hand.
No matter what happens life is still grand.
Yet others zoom by and ignore the rain.
A cool breeze soon comes to cool things down more.
Soon I walk up for doughnuts at the bakery store.
Walking back home with doughnuts in hand,
I thank God for all he does for this old land. The day is now perfect with a blessing of rain.
