Rain- A poem
RAIN
"Papa, where does that river go?"
The papa, eager to teach,
speaks of flow and surge
of rivers converged
seas receiving
water as vapor
ascending to the heavens
descending as manna and dew
to a needy earth.
"Papa, does that river go around that tree?"
And so it is for the preacher
whose people strain to see
around the river bend while
she speaks to them of the rain.
