Rain
by Kathleen HighamI've walked in rain
When it was like a mist
I lifted my face
And felt it's kiss
And peace was all around me
Leaves soaking in the air
Tender branches hanging low
I know that God was there
Small animals scurried to and fro
Feathers fluttering in a puddle
While some are gathered closely
As a mother and child they cuddle
Others fly to safety
Settling deep within a tree
But ducks they seem to laugh and play
The rain they love to see
It doesn't matter where you are
For the rain will come to you
Whether gentle or a drenching rain
It makes you feel brand new
And even if your mood is sad
It will wash away your sorrow
And every day looks bright and clean
As you look forward to the morrow
And all the birds are singing
You heard them as you slept
And the grounds and trees are beautiful
After the rain has left
For everything that lives and breathes
Is sustained from this heavenly dew
As Our Father weeps His silent tears
You are soothed as they pour over you
And rain that comes in blinding sheets
Or gentle as "The Lamb"
Gives the message of the life He brings
As He says again "I Am"
