| The Rain |

For days , the sky was high and far away
The sun shone hot through out the day .
When the vehicles sped past
Danced a great wave of dust .
It was hot everywhere !
The grass in the field turned yellow .
Cows stared blankly at the meadow.
Flowers , creepers all droopy .
The grains in the fields were thirsty !
It was dry everywhere!
One hot afternoon , the air was still .
At that time we were taking our meal .
A sudden thunder sounded in the distance .
We were alert in a n instance.
The rain might be coming this way !
The dark clouds gathered lower
Soon raindrops fell upon the flowers.
Big droplets fell on the roof and panes.
Down to the pavement and drains .
The welcome rain !
The birds hurried back to their nest .
There they took their shelter and rest.
The wind blew coldly .
The brooks and rivers swelled rapidly.
Never a day so wet !
And the storms weakened .
Out came the sun !
Children began to run .
The tropical rain storm had stopped.
Came the storm sudden !
Went the storm just as sudden .
Soon the rainbow appeared .
Damp and wet was the atmosphere.
Beautiful was the world after the storm !
The drops still hang on the leaves.
The spiders at the corner began to weave.
Mother nature was fresh and green .
The rain has washed her all clean .
The blessed rain !
