Rain

By Faisal K., Age 12

The water flows like the drizzle of bliss that falls from the sky.

The peaceful blessing of water that comes from the cotton candy clouds when they turn sour.

The blessing of life that makes man’s golden smile dandy,

blesses the plants with vibrant colors like multi-colored candy.

The drizzle of water that makes the prosperous run and leave the water ignored,

makes the poor on the other side of the world celebrate and thank the Lord.

The drizzle that makes the young flock outside with faces of glee,

makes the adults with stern faces flee.

The drizzle of rain brings much happiness to some,

makes the young run and have fun.

The drizzle that makes the sky have prisms of light.

ends other peoples suffer and strife.

The rain that makes children play,

can still somehow make adults run away.
