Poem



Sweet Rain  


The downpour of the rain this morning

Gladdens my heart,

It’s very sweet as it rain down from

The heaven

The striking thunder;

The rushing of streams;

The heaviness of the downpour

Makes me sad

How can I come down on bed?

How can I start my day?

It’s sweat to remain on bed.

It’s more sweater to get out of bed

to face the beautiful day.

My heart whisper a short pray

O Lord, make the rain subside.

I don’t want to miss the blessings

of the day  

I’d rather miss the pleasure that

comes with remaining on bed…

O sweet rain, how lovely art thou!

O sweet rain, how precious art thou!

O sweet rain, how rough art thou!

to sneak into my bright, beautiful

and blessed day.
