After The Rain
After the rain the air is sweet
With glist`ning pools beneath my feet
Raindrops dripping down from the eaves
Teardrops slipping off shining leaves
And silken webs with crystals strung
Which span across the ivy hung
Around the trellised arbours green
A shimm`ring, luminescent scene
After the rain has kissed the earth
So Mother Nature brings new birth
Flowers to bloom with life anew
After the rain the sky is blue
After the rain comes a fresh dawn
After the rain new hope is born
After the rain has touched my soul
After the rain I shall be whole

Truly a poem that can touch the soul of all, we all have rainy day stories I should think. Well done kiddo and keep up the good work!
Val, I remember as a child growing up how we played in the rain and after the rain. Love this one!
Wonderful! We, like the earth, are renewed after the storm. Very nice read.
