Green Earth (A little rain must fall)

it was a surprise

not seen ever in some lives

rain brings back all life

simple to enjoy

hoping it's around again

and does not stay gone

loving the sunshine

as it brings life to our earth

only if it rains

Author's Note

It can rain for months and we will still be in a drought, but we will take any rain we can get.

This short piece injects the balance of nature into our thinking, where seasons or fluctuations in climate are needed to maintain equilibrium.

Nice to see you, John. Your words are greatly appreciated.

I like your poem. Goes really well with the video...although we have loving sunlight, how could the earth be brought to life without rain. Nicely written...Keep writing.

this is a very true poem. It expresses the importance of the little things in life we take for granted and how important they are to everyday life. Very well said ! Thanks for sharing :)

And thank you Breanna for visiting my words and commenting. I am glad you enjoyed it and where I live this is the way life is. No water and dry cracked ground.

Hey Will, Rain is always good if you asked me, as long as the
Natural waterways in your area, are flowing freely to prevent
Flooding. Some great wordplay you had versed here, very cool.
Thanks for the send'

We have natural and manmade waterways, but most are pretty empty. Thanks for the read and commenting.

Gene Kelly hum. That is going back a lot...old man...wish I could send some of the rain and yes...today snow flakes your way. I lived in Van Nuys a short time and got dust to the knees just walking around. Valentine

There were a number of rain songs that I considered and this seemed to be the best choice. Also they did a DWTS routine a couple weeks ago as a tribute to this song and since people of a younger age may have seen it, it seemed the right song. Thanks for reading and commenting. Thanks for offering to send some my way.
