The Day the Rains Came Down

By  Sis Unsworth 

I am sure I heard the trees sigh, as I gazed up at the darkened sky

The flowers seem to bow and pray, in hope the rain would come today. 

All the earth was parched and dry, I heard the seagull’s eerie cry.

What they needed now had come, as angry clouds blocked out the sun.

The rain fell with sheer delight, continuing throughout the night.

Following the summer storm, lightning flashed till early morn.

The world became a different place, the trees stood tall & full of grace.

The grass revived began to grow, and mother nature seemed to glow.

The ponds and lakes so full of pride, now complement the country side

The rain cascading from the leaves, make music of the summer breeze.

I know how long we had to wait, but when it came it sure felt great!

I’m glad it rained, I really am, it saved me from a hosepipe ban.
