A WELCOMING SUMMER RAIN

Oh welcome the thunder and rain
Bring in refreshing water to earth
Quench its parched thirst again
Making its flora alive like a rebirth!

The air has been freshened with it
Rose of Sharon opens her blossom
Hear the laughter of the fairies emit
As they dance within earth’s bosom

We, the human being, with our dog
Relaxing near an opened window
Cool breezes caressing; I’ll not hog
How lovely this is, a feeling I bestow

Sprinkles, here, there, ‘n’ everywhere
Making melody on the hardened dirt
Gardens holler out in a loud declare
‘Thank you, for this watery squirt!’

Linger a bit longer this wonderfulness
We’re all grateful to have you here
The whole of us are in agreeableness
As this makes your visit quite dear!
