Waiting For Rain

Waiting For Rain

By Kathy Koches

Sunlight streaming, finds me dreaming

Lazy hazy April days.

Waiting, hoping, napping, moping,

Hoping this is just a phase

Finally, a rainbird singing,

Music to my ears today.

And he let’s me know he’s bringing

News that rain is on the way

Cooling, soothing, breezes moving

Clouds around the sunny skies.

Mother Nature keeps us guessing,

When will we receive the prize?

Then they come, the rains at last

are pouring down, the waters rise.

Dry days gone, a misty dawn,

The sight is lovely to my eyes.
