You are as the gentle morning rain <br />Giving life to all that here below remain <br />Your scope unlimited across this earth’s terrain <br />Each speckled spot of moistness <br />Alights on my face with a gentle wakefulness <br />Awakening me to your love and gracefulness <br />In the gentle morning rain. <br /> <br />Your mid day sunlight melts the gentle rain <br />Your warmth over all of us does reign <br />The light by which we see and then attain <br />Each blessed ray of light illuminating <br />And revealing all that needs our understanding <br />Even in the dark your eternal light reflecting <br />You melt the gentle morning rain. <br /> <br />Your afternoon wind carries the gentle rain <br />Your breath gives us all our life to sustain <br />Our minds are cleared as you breathe again <br />Each gasp of breath breathed with life’s zest <br />How many breaths are measured for this chest <br />Before all my worldly goods I must bequest <br />You carry the gentle morning rain. <br /> <br />And when the evening comes that gentle rain <br />Is still present here, as love it does remain <br />In the twilight of this day it never goes away <br />Your love that is the gentle morning rain.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gentle-morning-rain/
