Witnessing A Rainstorm
We had a rain – a wonderful rain
It ran down the streets like rivers
To look out when it was pouring down
It almost gave you the shivers
It rained all night in torrents
There was thunder and lightning too
It was like the old fashioned storms
Way back in Ohio which we know
We were glad to see this rainfall
As it was needed so
The only hindrance we experienced
To our Church we did not get to go
Now the storm has halted
And the streets are clear once more
It’s about time we get ready
To go shopping as we did before
It may seem strange to some folks
That we do our shopping on Sunday
But it’s the only time folks have
As they have to work on Monday
Why can’t they shop all through the week
Well that’s very easy to figure out
Every man and his wife are working
The whole blessed week throughout
We appreciate that wonderful rainfall
As it will make our lawns grass green
And that’s something to be thankful for
Because here it is very seldom seen
The vacant lots look drounded
Now the tumbleweeds will even grow
And we are so very very thankful
That we didn’t have 8 or 10 inches of snow
So we thank our Lord in Heaven
For this wonderful downpour of rain
Because in a very short period of time
It came down like a tremendous waterfall
Now the bright sun is shinning
But there are still clouds shifting around
It may possible be all over
And the sun will dry up the ground
