In Defense Of The Rain

Some folks like to complain
And are very fickle
They fume when rain is falling
And fret at a mere drizzle

Wild birds and animals
They all need the rain
Which gives them water
For their lives to sustain

The plants and the trees
And all the lovely flowers
For them to grow and flourish
They also need the showers

The food crops that are grown
To provide food for us all
Each of them would perish
If the rain did not fall

So please think of these things
Before you start complaining
And creating a lot of fuss
The next time rain is falling

Hi Socrates wave
I was reading your work and I would like to let you know that I enjoyed that very much ;) becsuse many of them are very green.

I'm sure you are a very good person and friend, someone who write as you do about nature, can't be from other way.

Congratulations for all your poems and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I enjoy this one very much too. What could we do without the rain? As Saint Francis said... Our good sister the Rain purple heart

Hugs and Blessings

Hi sundayrose
Thanks for your comment. I said "some" folks like to complain about the rain. I did not say "many". I have heard some people complain and I have seen a few similar comments posted at CS.
Have a beautiful day!

Hi Stell

I am happy that you enjoy my work and I am pleased to share it with others. Thank you also for mentioning Saint Francis of Assisi; he is my favourite saint. He is the patron saint of ecology and had a wonderful relationship with Nature as conveyed in your expression "sister...Rain". For those who may be interested, the full canticle expressing his relationship with Nature can be viewed at the following link:



Have a glorious day!

Hi, socrates44,
I concur with the appreciation expressed In Defense Of The Rain. Perhaps, for some, it comes down to timing - and placement. [Of course, if it's raining Raindrop Kisses who would complain!] Thanks for sharing.
