Mixed Blessings

I'd forgotten how dark the days could be
When the sun refuses to shine.
I am thankful for the refreshing rain
But still it makes me pine
For the long sunny days that may be past.
When rain comes here it's prone to last.
Though I prayed for the rain with all my might
I wanted it to fall at night.

Joyce:  This is really a cute poem! I'd gladly take some of that rain for over here, if I could.

Indeed ... this is a true true write~

Well .. when God sends rain ... rain's my choice~
(Just wish it had an alarm that would only go off at night~)

I love the rain day or night, but I like it at night best because it makes me sleep better........ This was cute.
