It was Long Awaited Rainfall
Craved with Heart and Soul.
It began today with Small Drops
Then it Precipitated to Downpour
Though it came with Pugnacity
We hosted it with Hospitality
And Countenance of Cordiality
But it Deserted us with Enmity
To show it how I care about it
I had to went to bath under it
With me there were other kids
Our minds then was full of peace
The Rain sent a Furious Wind
Wrapped in Dust and a Whine
Hard to fathom what it meant
Until it Wrestled my lovely Tree
It shacked the tree here and there
Until when the tree lost its gear
Then it resigned and despaired
And helplessly fallen down, Ayya!
With me and the other kid
wished could help the tree
But aren’t the strong breeds
To Stop what God decreed.
I’m sorry my lovely Tree
It is what God Decreed
Wish you Rest in Peace
You…I would honestly miss!
