Let us not ponder too much upon the rain <br />Yet refrain from neglecting the water within <br />These turbulent waves cease ne'er to pain <br />but the rain pitter-patters, gently the rain <br /> <br />And nature receives bounty from nature's own gain <br />Not so within us; our head barely stay aloft <br />To reap the cold depths of the ocean's disdain <br />but the rain softly whispers, gently the rain <br /> <br />As kind feathers stroke, and fall on the plain <br />Not so is the heart, turmoil and oil <br />The self it depresses, and so too does stain <br />until all is healed, pitter-pat pat pat-pitter, gently the rain<br /><br />Elbert Matt Loubser<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gently-the-rain/
