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.

Sunday School

Children laughing as they play

With the dollhouse and tiny dolls.

Children screaming as they say

“He took my toy away!”


Children cooking plastic food

At the small kitchen made just for them.

Children putting the toy food in their mouths

As we say, “Don’t do that, you can’t lick them.”


Children building houses out of Legos,

And talking about their plans.

Us listening, smiling, and nodding our heads

Even when I don’t understand.


Children stretching out top tubes,

And running around the table with them.

Children falling down and crying

After we told them not to run.


Children dumping blocks onto the floor

As we try to clean up the room.

Children leaving one by one

When their parents pick them up.


Two children asking when their parents are coming

Because they are twenty minutes late.

Parents finally coming to get them,

So we can eagerly make our escape.
