A solitary drop of rain Alights softly on my bare skin I lift my eyes to the heavens Now overcast and dim One drop befalls another I hear my own voice say As I slowly close the door Well, there goes my whole day The downpour is much needed To help the foliage grow But I must confess my eyes lit up When I saw that colorful rainbow The shower we got was steady Though gone, it has left its mark The ground is much too muddy Upon the trails to now embark My work is done, it's not quite noon Whatever will I do with the day I pause amidst my pondering thoughts To realize I've been handed time to play Ironic how we seem to think Everything must go on as planned When all we really need to do Is accept the gift in God's outstretched hand Dance like nobody is watching |

Very good poem, its all about perspective. I like the way you talk about being open to new oppertunities. Don't overlook the posiblility of something unexpected just because its not going the way you planned. Excellant poem. |

So true! And we waste so much of our unexpected gifts. We do need to slow down and look around us don't we. We should get breaks at work just to smile and reflect. That would be hillarious wouldn't it! Everyone standing around smiling and looking so peaceful. Great poem.Sincerely, Rwood |
