Rain trickles down the window pane.
The glass reveals the storm.
The misty clouds drop their blessings
Where the dry ground began to form.
The flowers tilt underneath the weight
Of the life giving moisture,
Yet when the rays of life return
They will regain their posture.
Birds are hidden away for shelter,
Some tucked underneath their set of wings.
Their bird baths are being generously filled,
And soon they will again sing.
The children run and play in the puddles,
And tilt their heads back to taste and see
Oh how good and faithful
The Lord is to you and me.

“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”
Love this Gail and all what water means! It gives life. It calls to mind how JESUS told the woman at the well that HE had “living water” for her!

I love this Gail. “Oh how faithful the Lord is to you and me.” Amen! He does His best work when we can’t see our way, when all seems lost and hope is waning.
Just as the flowers burst forth in the Spring, so does our hope when the rain of Holy Spirit comes. What a refreshing rain that is!
The imagery in your poetry is beautiful. I can perfectly envision it in my mind’s eye. God bless you, sweet Gail! ♥
