Pretty Dee shared a letter in the
Poetry group 8 months, 2 weeks ago I Love the Rain
Pretty Dee ✌🏽💕✨I love the rain
To other people it might be a pain
But for me it’s joy
Like a kid with a new toy
I guess life prepared me to be
This wayCause I had to learn to
Find peace in my rain
And find my calm in the middle of my storm
And See the beauty in it
Cause I’ve learned that
storms not only come to ravage
But also to restore and to replenishHave you ever seen nature in it?
Some trees bend while others break
Some trees are unmoved
The colors on the leaves and flowers
are more vibrantThe clouds puff up
into beautiful shapes
The wind yells
And makes nature
Give a standing ovation
You hear a limb snap
But really a clap
Of gratitude
I love the rain
It helped me change my attitudeBecause sometimes the sun is a tyrant
We worship the sun
But the rays can be blinding
Scorching and burning
Drying you out
To where you can’t even shout
For helpWithout the rain
Flowers wilt and dry away
Nature begins to evanesce
And we’d all melt
Even if you are built for the desert
The desert still needs
The rains presenceI love the rain
Because it reminds me of my blessings
And the harvest to come
Because how can something
Grow without rain and only sun?
DeAndrea, This is so good and so true. Interestingly enough, my grandfather always told me rain was good luck. And as it turns out my boyfriend’s name means God of rain. This poem is thoughtfully and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

Thank you. That’s really cool because my grandma used to always say it was God showering blessings in the spiritual realm. Water in whatever state is always so inspirational to me.

AWww I love that. I bet you somewhere up there your grandma and my grandpa were friends. My grandpa had quite the personality! Every time it rains, I think of him <3

Dee,
I love this poem, the imagery, analogies to life. It paints a picture of life and how nature works. These are the poems that make you think about life and appreciate how rain is a good thing.
