Rain

Rain refreshes. Rain rewards.
Kills our thirst with liquid swords.
Washes all the dust away,
And bends the light at end of day.

Rain helps soothe us into sleep,
Cleans up the world we’re sworn to keep.
We tend to it, and it to us,
We’re well rewarded for the fuss.

Like magic mushrooms popping up,
Our food shows in the flowing cup,
A horn of plenty, our reward,
And liquid coolness from the gourd.

Rain comes by to cool our brow,
To give a rest from labors now,
While forces sent from up above,
Gently whisper, “Here’s the Love!”

Hi Lori.

I think we are back to normal. We are still coughing but no more flu symptoms.

I was not here much this weekend. Seems that there are always three or four other things that I should be doing. : )

I have some cute cat graphics ..... a lot of Bad Penny stuff.

Off the shelf and very appropriate. I am humbled knowing that in our dueling banjos, I play someone else’s while you are playing the real thing. Thanks.

Well, see, I'm lousy at remembering poetry, so I just make stuff up.

Thanks, NnB.

Your “Rain” is new to me. You must not have pinged me when you first posted it.

It is wonderful. Thank you.

Beautiful rain kissed graphic, Meg.

Is that a geranium? It is lovely and your table is wonderful. Thank you.

[JustAmy]

Sweet Dreams, Kitty Mittens.
See you tomorrow.

You're right. It was originally posted on "The Finest" and I forgot to ping you.

I had a very nice stolen frame and picture for it, but the picture has disappeared.
