Thank You For The Rain, Lord Poem by david lessard

The rains, they finally came,
awesome in it's power -
the lightning show was super,
much more than just a shower.

People scurrying to their cars,
Under pelting, pouring clouds -
They were witness to God's tears,
their hands were clasped,
their heads were bowed.

The thunder cracked above our heads,
surprising many lovers -
and made a few jump from their beds -
throwing back the covers.

We need much more of these,
A thunderstorm galore -
When the clouds release their treasure,
and it really starts to pour.

Lightning, I don't mind it,
Thunder, I can stand -
and the rain that falls from heaven,
saturates a hot, dry land.

Thank you Lord, for rain,
for the wetness that abounds -
for making a big deposit,
as you go about your rounds.
