The Rain
The rain pours down when the clouds get black;
The rain makes sounds like ding, bang, and smack.
The thunder is God giving instructions to his creation;
The sound of rain is heard throughout the nation.
The lightning is a light show beautiful at night;
It reminds me of the great flood and of Noah's brave might.
We sometimes regret the rain, but it is God's will;
We can always continue our plans when the winds come to a still.
The winds blow through the tree to make a magnificent, sweet sound;
Just sit and listen to the rain falling to the ground.
