Rainbows and Rivers
~
rainbows and rivers run free
just like you and me
chasing those pots of gold
we don’t allow grace to unfold
the more we grab and fight our way
the less we enjoy our days
blessings like rivers are best when flowing free
allowing and appreciation are the start
to magic and blessings filling our heart

This is a delayed poetry blessing for St. Patrick’s Day, inspired by all the rain we’ve had lately. I’m very grateful for flowing rivers, recharging lakes, aquifers, gardens and waterfalls.
May the blessings flow.
Thanks, Brad…lovely beginning to my day reading this..

Rain is such a precious commodity…..I was watching a documentary about terrible droughts around the world that are causing so much famine…and thinking how fortunate I am to live in a country where we have lots of water. Lovely poem and image. Janet 🙂

When you live in a town where it rains so much, then you look forward to some sun, but maybe where you live it’s completely different and of course, rain is very important for nature, Brad.

Agreed Mitza. We normally have adequate rain, but almost none the last few months and the lakes and rivers were very low.

This is a great piece, Brad. Reminds me of the adage about the dangers of trying to hold onto a handful of sand by squeezing it too tightly (but rainbows and rivers are far more meaningful than sand in my opinion).

I like the sand analogy. It makes it very clear that we can’t hold on. Thanks for adding some grit to my life! XD

Thanks Gabe. I don’t know. Awesome Stories have been going for about 4 years and I’m feeling like a change, plus having less time for blogging lately.
