Analysis of Rain



Rain,come as you may
Refresh the world with a spray
Lite mist to moisten the ground
Sprinkle the world rain come down
Wet to the human touch
Come rain spray just enough
To renew the air with fresh scent
Rain is a freshness that's heaven sent
To some it,s a day to sleep and lie in
To others it,s a day of sad you wish would end
So what ever the rain may mean to you
Thank God for the rain and the morning dew
