The Rain

Oh what a tragedy
To be the Rain
To give life
Even as you fall
Expecting and receiving
Nothing

Oh what a shame
The way we treat the Rain
For though we love the flowers and trees
We hate that which they feed
Upon
Oh God, we hate the Rain

Yet perhaps
I am the Rain
Giving and giving
Only to be hated for my minor inconvenience
Yet like the rain
I nourish all that I touch
And spread beauty and love as I go

Oh, I surely am the Rain
For the beauty I leave behind
Will never make up
For the hatred they feel for me.
But still I fall
If only to see them smile
After I leave
