TO A SINGLE DROP OF RAIN
From the deck of our cabin nestled high in the trees is a great place I maintain
to ponder the meaning of life as you sit and watch the rain.
You see each raindrop gently falling…you hear the woosh of sound
and you realize not every raindrop makes it to the ground
You hear some raindrops hit the roof and from your unique point of view
you see the tree extend each leaf to catch a drop or two.
You look out over the railing…mesmerized at how the raindrops glide
to see some land on flowers in the garden with their blooms and petals open wide.
You see raindrops gather in the birdbath… and immediately you think
how the water will be waiting for the birds to swim in…or to drink.
If you listen very closely and through the trees you take a peek
you can hear and see some raindrops as they plop into the creek.
As you watch the rain continue….it’s inevitable…
a smile will cross your face
when you realize the rain’s only mission is to make the world a better place.
Yes, as raindrops feed the lakes and rivers…nourish each animal and plant
you understand they are sent to Earth to enhance…to nurture…to enchant.
And you begin to wonder why we were sent here…
perhaps it is easy to explain…
we are all here to live a life similar…to a single drop of rain.
