Today <br />I'd like to be a nun <br />And go and say <br />My rosary beneath the trees out there. <br />In this shy sun <br />The raindrops look like silver beads of prayer. <br />So blest <br />Am I, I'd like to tell <br />God and the rest <br />Of heaven-dwellers in the garden there <br />All that befell <br />Last week. Such gossip is as good as prayer. <br />Ah well! <br />I have, since I'm no nun, <br />No beads to tell, <br />And being happy must be all my prayer. <br />Yet 'twould be fun <br />To walk with God 'neath the wet trees out there.<br /><br />Lesbia Harford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-rain-8/
