When rain falls
Upon the leaf
Each drop enlarges
In strong relief
The patterns of life
That are etched there
The love, the pain
The joy, the care
Do not avoid the storm
And the rain
But study, instead
The path of each vein
To treasure the beauty
In each drop of rain
That flowers in wisdom
From each moment of pain
To see where you’re going
From where you’ve been
You can make paths
That are joyous again.
