A Rain That Does Not Stop
I See What Beauty Grows
From the wonderful rain
Colorful flowers bloom
It is as if nature knows
The trees and the grass need water
A light shower or a heavy rain comes
To feed the plants of the world
Rivers and lakes are filled
The ocean is also replentished
Then again if it keeps raining
Then all the beauty will stop
Floods and problems will arise
For everything in life needs a balance
We need water every day to survive
The rain is pounding on my roof
As I speak
I am safe and dry
After a long drought
Many people wonder and wait
How long can we go without
Water
In every grocery store you see an isle of filled with water
From big jugs to small bottles in cases
Reminding us how important it is
Good drinking water is a must
We also use water for many other things
From the dirty dishes in the sink
To all our toilets that need to flush
Think of our dirty clothes with no water to wash
I love a beautiful shower
To take away the dirt and make me clean once again
All the car washes that makes our cars sparkle
As I listen to the rain
I say I am so glad to see you
At the same time
I am glad to see you go away
I guess I will never be happy
More wishy washy
On this dark and gloomy day

AuthorGypsy Rose Lee It has been raining all week here. Hopefully you have got some rain too.Even though only in the 50's usually in the 70's and 80's. Weather is unpredictable. I love the rain. So peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for reading and sharing. It took me along time to make the comments some computer trouble on my end.
Our garden badly needs a good rainfall. We haven't had a good rain in a long time and the weather is getting warmer all the time.

Ms Dora You always make me feel good. Making the best of all kinds of weather all during the year. In moderation makes everyone happiest. Thank you for reading and have a lovely weekend.
"I say I am so glad to see you / At the same time /I am glad to see you go away." Conflicting feelings like this make us happy that it is not our responsibility to send rain. We're better off appreciating it the way you do.
An awesome poem with powerful emotions! I felt your feelings while reflected on recent rains here in Southern California much needed in contrast to a friend in Sweden with too much rain. Rain definitely impacts us as your creative poem shares with us. Thanks for sharing and hoping soon there are rays streaming from Mr. Sunshine.

Athlete Keys There is nothing I like better than a cold glass of water when I am thirsty. When I played out in the yard and I am covered in dirt I can't wait to hop into a nice hot shower. When it rains real hard I like walking in puddles and stomping my feet. Until my wife catches me and tells me aren't you a little old to be doing that. Maybe but it still brings back a ocean full of good memories. Thank you for reading and sharing. Have a rainy, wet day. One or two is fun. After that I say bring out the sun.
Water is a gold resource. A little water is beautiful and fragrant to the soul. Too much water and we have floods, chaos and destruction. Not enough water, our bodies die. Thankyou for reminding us about this beautiful resource of ours.

Tamara Moore I do a lot of things from memory but this time it has been raining light showers yesterday to heavy rains all night. I love the sound of rain and all I want to do is stay in bed.It hypnotizes me. I feel so sleepy. Thank you for reading and commenting. I will check out your hub. I never know when I am going to write and about what subject my life is an open canvas. I get to paint all the pictures with words. I let people draw their own pictures. Some true. Some start off true and have an ending I wish had happened. Other stories are totally fictional as if someone was whispering the story softly in my ear. I have an old computer and printer and both act up from time to time. Then it's me against the mechanical devices. They usually win. How about you? Do any of these things happen to you?
Nice! You paint some great pictures. Good that some never take things for granted. God's Grace is not only bounteous but amazing! Great Hub!
This is what reminded me of your poem:
Very interesting poem on rain! It's unique and I like it very much! It reminds me of the short essay I wrote about Overcast and Gloomy Days. I wonder if it is raining where you are at, or if this is written from memory of a last rain...
