I am the little raindrop <br />That now has seen the sea <br />Though once it thought itself <br />The world of water, be <br /> <br />The surface tension grew <br />Until it burst it's skin <br />And, falling on the wave <br />It heard a growing din <br /> <br />It thought the sea a whole <br />A solid thing, that roll <br />To crush the little drop <br />Beneath it's giant bowl <br /> <br />But just before it fell <br />The little dropp woke up <br />And saw the shining faces <br />In the splashes, spraying up <br /> <br />The other drops did play <br />In the water's mighty hand <br />And from sea to farthest sea <br />Did the water's smile expand <br /> <br />Until horizon's bloomed <br />Upon some sunny shore <br />Where the little raindropp rose <br />Into the sky once more.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-the-little-raindrop/
