Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

Hold On

Some quit fighting for

Priceless treasure in their life

When things get too rough.


***

I wrote this haiku because sometimes people give up on things that are worth having, such as great opportunities that would help them, because things get too hard or inconvenient. However, things worth having are not always easy to get, so it is best to hold on and keep reaching for that opportunity rather than giving up and settling for the bare minimum. God made you for more and He doesn’t want you to settle. So keep seeking God and remember that His plans for you are great.
