Do you fear it or embrace it?
Do you love it or loathe it?
We All need it,
We ALL have our need of Rain.
Lovers need rain too
Bringing people close together by fireplaces and on rugs,
Keeping each other warm and snug and watching the Rain.
How it beats on the window, how it shines in the sunlight,
The beauty of Rain.
We never think of it, we complain,
Curse how it ruins our day.
But you have to love rain,
It gives us hope,
We live our lives because of Rain,
And enjoy those who we love and cherish,
Rain unites us and keeps us whole.
But it can be angry.
Like fearsome gods or great demons,
Striking down on the earth we tread,
Bringing trees down, tearing up the ground under us.
You must respect it,
Or it will take out vengeance upon you,
Fear it, love what it gives but never ignore,
What Rain gives us is Life and Death,
We will always need it and yet need to keep its distance,
Our homes and lives keep safe,
From Rain and by Rain.
