Bring on the Rain

This is the fourth day that I am praying for rain.

Lord, the crops need moisture badly.

I know I said after witnessing flash floods in my hometown last summer
That I wouldn't again pray for rain,

And maybe I sound fickle, but there is so much suffering

and so much pain

and such a burden for farmers and their families,

please, Lord, bring on the rain.

Gentle, nourishing, pond filling rain
would be ideal.

I can almost hear the music in the rain.

But for now I hear the land lamenting from drought.

Lord bring on the rain.

with a song in my heart,
