Watching The Rain

Rain, released from the sky
Rests on emerald grass
Sparkling like glass.

As the rain falls,
She brings a friendly breeze
Refreshing all the trees.


While I watch the rain
Sparrows seem thrilled
As birdbaths are filled.

Rain lets out her song
All the way down
Blessing the town.

The abundance of rain
Is able to bring
Comfort to life
And joy to Spring.
