Let It Rain Poem by Elmer Romulo Valdez

As the rain fell from heaven,
And soaked the thirsty earth,
The leaves scorched by the sun,
The flowers their fragrance gone,
Joyfully rejoiced: they are blessed!

And man thanked and murmured:
'O rain, you are pouring again,
Giving hope and determination,
For me to breath and go on living.'

The earth sprouted with greenery
Showing freshness and calmness,
The leaves swayed in the wind,
The flowers, proud and upright,
Scented-sweet, expressed delight.

Man smiled with a happy heart,
Watching the bountiful harvest,
With gladness! Life, after all,
Is truly kind and beautiful!
