Of the rain the Word has said <br />To us he giveth in due season <br />And in the Word i also read <br />Of his might and of his reason <br /> <br />The rain to water the earth <br />Our crops he will sustain <br />Trees planted not in dearth <br />Rooted firm they will remain <br /> <br />A rich gift from heaven sent <br />Not because of worthiness <br />But by divine design meant <br />To show a creator greatness <br /> <br />And therefore this an ode to thee <br />Of God's oh blessed rain <br />A token penned from me <br />Forever i am your humble swain <br /> <br />2007<br /><br />Gillena Cox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rain-33/
