Rain

Inspired by my sister aggie

When I wake up at night, what do I hear?

 

The most beautiful sound to ever grace my ears

 

It beats on my windows, like the tribal drums

 

To let the whole world know when it comes

 

It's runs through shallow rivers, and oceans so deep

 

And lulls the tired straight back to sleep

 

Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad

 

But should we feel happy?, or should we be sad?

 

Sure it gives life, and has the power to soothe

 

But it has another point that it's already proved

 

It's grown trees for air, and gave drinks to the masses

 

And fueled the tsunami taking homes as it crashes

 

Rain has created smiles, and replaced them with frowns

 

Overflowed the rivers to swallow cities, and towns

 

It's created fields of green grass, and lakes so magnificent

 

Then left people homeless, and killed off the innocent

 

So is rain important?, or is it just worthless?

 

Or a natural wonder with no one true purpose

 

Is it a gift?, or just natures cruel minions?

 

I guess like the rest of the world, it depends on opinions

Much like the leaves that end up in your backyard, people often take rain for granted. I think the moral of the story here is to look at the positives and beauties in things we would normally label as negatives. It'll get you thinking about the world differently.
