                 Meet me at the Passage

Rain Falls

3/2/2022

 
Picture
 
Oh, these troubles
falling from the sky
one here, one there…. [i] 
No question, Why ?
I know it is for Good   [ii]
 
but if I could
see each as Gift,
my hands, my mind
would lift, and find
my doubting stopped.
 
Each drop 
then brings a benison,
And I would gain
from love of rain
 
Get under drops
and let them fall
welcome love,
his Love in all
 
(2020s) 


[i]   Matthew 5:45,  Jesus said  –  “…so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” 

[ii]   Romans  8: 28, St. Paul says  – “We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.”

    Most poems in Volume 3 are reflections based on, and mixed with, references to Biblical passages. These are grouped together to mark a slightly different approach requested from the reader.
