A rain poem for a rainy day

Rain

by Louise Rill, e-poems.org

When it rains
The soft grey sky
Drifts to the ground
Brown rivulets
Trickle away
Trickle away
Washing sadness down
Weather vanes
Weep and turn
Weep and turn
Forgetting in the damp and grey
That by and by
The sun will shine
Sun will shine
By and by
The sun will shine.

It's rainy here in Wisconsin today, though not dark and dismal. The sun could come out at any moment!

And thereby hangs a homily!  ;-)  While I set about doing my house work today, I shall be thinking of each of you by name, and praying that any storm clouds in your life would be blown away quickly so that the sun can shine through.

And because we have a sweet little finch that is doing its best to sing in spite of the wind --

Spring song

by Louise Rill, e-poems.org

Singing liquid notes
In the green bud tree
A willow warbler
Welcomes the sun on the old wall
Its song melts away
The long grey winter
Sing of sweet hope
Let no late frost
Stop its trilling throat

News from Loth -- she's home!

I got a card from Loth today, she's home and reports that she is getting better every day. She is able to walk with the help of a walker, and is able to take care of herself -- though she does have friends looking after her so she's not alone.

She says: "Give me a month, and I'll be good as new!"

*squees with excitement and gratitude for answered prayer*
