Heavens become cloudy <br />Condensed sky is misty <br />As the sun is eclipsed <br />By the moving clouds <br />Hails of thunder heralds her <br />Birds sings joyously, <br />Wild beasts bleat ceaselessly, <br />Like an expectant mother <br />The husband awaits her drops <br />At her arrival heat recedes <br />Earth rejoice at her drops <br />We all chorused, its raining <br />Children run along the streets <br />Elders discern the season <br />So, we all bid the rain <br />To come down to refresh us <br />Rain Come down to nourish our plants <br />Come and quench our thirst <br />Come and water our flocks <br />Come gently, come gradually <br />Don't descend too much <br />Else, we will be wary of thee<br /><br />Babatunde Aremu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/welcome-rain/
