Rain

You splitter, splatter, pitter and patter on everything.

You have the rage of a wrathful God,
Temper of a tyrant,
Attitude of a moody teenager,
And at times are stubborn like a five year old.

You destroy, nourish, restore, clean and dirty.
You are truly the yang to the fire yin.

You at times act as a remorseless lover coming and leaving when you please.
Sometimes you give and at other times you take,
But you are almost always leaving something behind.

At times you can really be a curse but your intentions are always good.
You and I truly do have a love hate relationship.
You are an artist that can make ugly pretty and pretty ugly.

You can make a desolate place plentiful again.
Your drops give us hope and at times despair.
You never let us forget that you are still here.
