The Legend Of The Raindrop

The legend of the raindrop
Has a lesson for us all.
As it trembled in the Heavens
Questioning whether it should fall,

For the glistening raindrop argued
To the genie of the sky,
I am beautiful and lovely
As a sparkle here on high,

And hanging here I will become
Part of the rainbow’s hue,
And I’ll shimmer like a diamond,
For all the world to view,

But the genie told the raindrop,
Why do you hesitate to go?
For you will be more beautiful,
If you fall to earth below,

For you will sink into the soil,
And be lost awhile from sight,
But when you reappear on earth,
You will be looked on with delight,

For you will be the raindrop,
That quenched the thirsty ground,
And helped the lovely flowers,
To blossom all around,

And in your resurrection,
You'll appear in queenly clothes,
With the beauty of the lily,
And the fragrance of the rose,

Then you will wilt and wither,
And become part of the earth,
And make the soil more fertile,
And give more flowers birth,

For there is nothing ever lost,
Or eternally neglected,
For everything God ever made,
Is always resurrected,

So trust Gods all wise-wisdom,
And doubt the Father never,
For in his Heavenly Kingdom,
Nothing is lost forever.
