I prayed the sun would shine today
But still the rain keeps falling
It seems the clouds are here to stay -
O feel the darkness calling
Yet high above the misty skies
There smiles the sun full shining
Thus promising to stay our sighs
With clouds of silver lining
The rain brings beauty to the earth
The mill wheels keep revolving
All trees and flowers find re-birth
The hardened land dissolving
I prayed the sun would shine today
But still rain keeps descending
Beneath the showers yet I play
In joyfulness unending
‘Tis better to behold the world
In all her glory, turning -
With all her beauty thus unfurled
To ease our soulful yearning
Nature is caught in all its splendid variety and beauty in your poems Valerie! While you look for the sunshine, we long for the rains! !
Val, I find music in this poem and I can hear musical notes.......falling, calling, descending, soulful yearning. I have not yet made up my mind how to describe you as a poetess, perhaps, in future.
The last verse throws the optimistic point of view on this nicely written piece, nothing can we do except enjoy what ever we are given from day to day.......
The rain is falling here in tropics as I read your poem. The tinkling sounds of -ing rhymers match with the falling raindrops. I've come across your poetry just a week ago, you write beatiful poetry, Val Cheers!
Beautiful wordd as usual. Wr could use some of that rain in south Texas. Wr are in the worst possible droughr.

A wonderful poem, if it's not the rain it's the snow. We should be due some sun soon.
