You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created.

-Revelation 4:11

Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I grew up in the quaint city of Athens, AL. As a child, visiting the farm of my grandparents always elicited a peaceful, happy feeling for me. I acquired a fascination with the beauty of the simple things in the country and the great outdoors. One of my childhood dreams was to grow up and someday live in the country and raise a family there.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head!

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one. - Jacques Cousteau

Well, it's a beautiful, rainy morning on the farm. The claps of thunder are a welcomed sound from the great outdoors. Hopefully, once the rain has provided its necessary nourishment to the earth, it will subside and allow the sun to peek through the clouds. Today I share a poem from Langston Hughes with you so that you might enjoy the beauty of well-written verse. Poetry is my favorite genre due to its fun with words. Enjoy!

April Rain Song by Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

Let the rain kiss you.

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.

Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.

The rain makes running pools in the gutter.

The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night-

And I love the rain.
