Rainless

We’ve had so many days without A single drop of rain That trees and plants are suffering From lack-of-water strain. For people, it’s been wonderful - With so much time outside, The joy of crisp fall weather Paired with sun can’t be denied. Yet animals are hurting and Most crops are fading, too, Though there isn’t really anything To help that we can do. Yet, there are reports that Thursday We’ll experience some rain. I’ll miss these lovely sunny days, But I will not complain.
