Rain comes down...

On the brink of the unknown, when the gun goes off will you be caught on the blocks… or will you find yourself trying to swim?

Pitter pit pat, the rain falls down

Gray clouds congest the sky

Water falls from heaven to the ground

And to think we have no clue why

A brisk wind breaks across my face

And from puddle to puddle I keep on

A rainy day, a common disgrace

but I pushed forward strong

I expected differently from my state

But a simple smile shone through

Satisfied with what is upon my plate

Still left, not sure of what to do

Trying out trust, is a foreign concept to me

But an effort that must be made

Just like the small plants extend their leaves

To absorb the water with each blade

I walked with a beat I did, a casual stride

A dreary day it was, but my head held high

“I can handle this trust thing”, everything else aside

He is looking out for me, a fact I cannot deny

My feelings are liable to change day by day

But I must rely on what I know

Remembering, He is the way

because the Bible tells me so

There is peace in this trust I cannot explain

One that permits an effulgent smile

A peace, like the soft fall of rain

Present even in great trial

And so with the drop of rain atop my head

A gleam of hope appears

Excited for what is ahead

In the coming years

Rain still falls, with the same ole sound

with clouds that plaster the sky

But with the rain blessings come down

And to think we have know clue why

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."
