Smell The Rain

Don't you love the smell of rain On a dark soppy afternoon? The sound of plopping water Sometimes comes none too soon For at times our world is dry Not a rainy day in sight But finally the time will come To relive us from our plight The ground has been so hard And cracked without the rain So when the skies open up It's refreshing once again Poor little flowers so thirsty For we cannot water them all They need that precious rain To grow up strong and tall But the smell of rain I think Is the most delicious way To settle all the dustiness I just love a rainy day So when the rain is coming Try not to dread it so For it keeps the plants from dying It's the only way, you know You must never be too busy To pause your life again Take time for just a moment To stop and smell the rain!
