I Prayed For Rain
© Irene Conner 07/12/10
I prayed to you for rain, dear Lord;
the paddocks they were dry.
We’d waited long for darkened clouds;
to see the heavens cry.
The daylights hours were scorching hot
with harsh, dry winds that blew;
the winter feed had long since died –
at least, the feed that grew!
For rain had been in short supply
through winters balmy clime.
I prayed to you for rain, dear Lord.
I said ‘I think it’s time!’
I know you’ve heard my heartfelt plea –
I watched the clouds arrive.
But why, dear Lord, send rain right now
when I’ve a three hour drive?!?!
It's all in the timing, isn't it???

I have been wanting the rain for so long to refresh my perennial pasture, but why today????
Don't like driving and shopping in the rain!!!

But the rain was good, really!!!
