Rain with a Side of Praise

Drenched, squelched, wrung out to dry-

In my heart and mind, I just want to cry.

I look out at soggy rain-spattered ground-

Seeking solace but none is found.

Just for a moment I lift up my eyes-

Seeking God’s will amidst heavy sighs.

Birds at my feeder come and they go-

Bright spots of color above and below.

May my heart spring anew with bounteous praise-

May your words flow through me the rest of my days.
