Rain,

Oh how you wash up on the window sill

Bending light to your will

Pittering pattering,

Sputtering splattering

Out of every cloud, you spill

Rain,

Cover up the sun you must

To reap the lands of its dust

Swishing and swaying

On the windchimes, you are playing

Seeping into the earth’s crust

Rain, 

Without you, there would be no water to drink

Nothing to pour out of our kitchen’s sink

Oh how thirsty we would be

Without your lavish beauty

Times would be too hard to think

Rain,

For the countries, you’ve connected

Ones you’ve carefully selected

Binding rivers to the soil

Allowing us to stay and toil

Seeing what your puddles have reflected
