EVEN HAPPY ABOUT THE RAIN:

Honoring God Through Poetry

With God at the center of my home,
but so much before me;
playing out in vain,
in faith I give Him heartfelt thanks,
for His Provision of life's refreshing rain.

For, as everyone very well knows,
rain can be either good, 
or bad, as it all depends,
like a ill-planned trip way out to a far country, 
it all comes down to what transcends.

Because what comes about 
when the soil gets thirsty,
is unlike what happens  
with bad weather woes,
much like when trouble 
breaks through the window,
the sun cannot dry drenched land,
even as pouring rain slows.

But the moment true believers 
grow up a bit, as in Jesus' Way,
neither the sun, nor the rain
can hold the power to deter God's Joy,
no matter what certain people may say!

Therefore, 
I pray for constant leading,
how I may encounter laughter
in severity of rain,
whether life brings about 
joy to my smile,
or daydreams come
only to be forever slain.
