When the rain fell for fourteen days <br />The yellow peaches did get ripe <br />While streams washed like rivers <br />And sheep and even cattle drowned, <br /> <br />The dust roads became muddy <br />While the rain poured down <br />As if without end. <br /> <br />And on a particular day <br />The sun shone while it was raining <br />With the pouring drops <br />Shining bright like diamonds <br /> <br />But the farmers were trapped on their farms <br />By streams that crossed roads, <br />That where flowing strong like rivers <br />And where they were praying constantly for rain <br />They started to beg the Lord <br />For the rain to end..<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fourteen-days-rain/
