The Legend Of The Raindrop

by Heathergirl   Jun 27, 2004


The legend of the raindrop has a lesson for us all.
As it trembled in the heavens questioning whether it should fall,
For the glistening raindrop argued to the genie in the sky,
I am beautiful and lovely as i sparkle here on high,
And hanging here i will become part of the rainbows hue,
And ill shimmer like a diamond ,
for all the world to view,
But the genie told the raindrop,
Don't Hesitate to go,
For you will be more beautiful,
If you fall to earth below,For you will sink into the soil,
And be lost awhile in sight,
But when you reappear on earth,
You will be looked on with delight,
for you will Be the raindrop,
That quenched the thirsty ground,
And helped the lovely flowers,
To blossom all around,
And in your resurrection,
You'll appear in queeny clothes,
With the beauty of the lily,
And the fragrance of the rose,
Then you will wilt and wither,
And become part of the earth,
And make the soil more fertile,
And give more flowers birth,
For there is nothing ever lost,
Or eternally neglected,
For everything god ever made,
Is always resurrected,
So trust gods all wise-wisdom,
And doubt the father never,
For in his heavenly kingdom,
Nothing is lost forever.

I didn't write this but i liked it and thought you would too
