the truth about rain

often prayer is answered
when the blessed prayed for rain
and the land is gladly greener
where is found Longfellow's bane

he who finds rain dark and dreary
has not farmed in desert soil
had not stood in fields less watered
and with faith remained to toil

the poet said correctly
into each life some rain must fall
I hope it falls in my life
I don't find it sad at all
