Containers
There are many kinds
of containers one could use
to catch the rain.
Some set out jars,
but the water in a jar
won't take you very far.
Others prefer buckets
and buckets are nice,
but Jesus Christ
can fill more than just a bucket.
Me, I use barrels.
If it rains an hour or two
I have nothing to lose,
but if it rains all day
I have much to gain,
I'll catch all the rain.
