" RAIN INSTRUCTION "

With rain always wind,
        With sun always smiles,
With joy always sin,
         With death always death.

Drizzle, splash,
          How the rain,
                    Does crash,
                             Into my mind.

The clouds break,
              The rain stops,
                       Along with my heartbeat,
                                 The sun then shines.

The brief shower,
           Has dampened the earth,
Also, the floor of my soul,
           But surprisingly, has strengthened me.

I pass through the clouds,
                      Baptized pure,
            Found the cure,
                                 To all diseases,
                      Within my heart.

The rain has taught me this,
                                 And  so much more,
              Far beyond words....
