The Sunny Rain

THE SUNNY RAIN

The rain, it falls upon us;
from the heavens shadowed gray.

We stand beneath the shower;
and try to wait the day.

We forget the sun is shining;
above the darkened sky.

We let the clouds depress us;
without a wonder why.

But as I watch the weather;
and feel the soggy ground.

I imagine what the rain will bring;
and the blessings to be found.

I smell the springtime flowers;
in my mind as clear as day.

I feel soft grass beneath my feet;
as my children laugh and play.

I know the life that's growing green;
will grow and thrive and play.

The Rain will reward tomorrow;
for the Sun I give up today.
