Celebrate Rain

Baptismal fount, curative rain
Blessed from above, pardons our stain.

Nature’s fury, lightning the skies,
Thunder rumbles, wind howls and cries

Dance on roof tops, soothing the mind
Relieving angst, muffling our pine.

Cleansing shower, liquid launder
Wash down the mire, rinse 'way squalor

Water the corn, barley and wheat
Nourish the crops, all that we eat

Faith sprouts renewed, wellspring so dear.        
Dampen drought’s dust, torrents grey cheer   

Drench wooded hills, fill rustic streams
Plenished Rivers, swell to their seams.    

Nurture flora, hydrate dried dreams                     
Rouse green power, follow sunbeams

Birds sing in cheer, nature ordains
Fragrant freshness, celebrate rain.
