Mary Havran - Godsends

God sends the rain to fall
ln its like proportions
upon both the wicked and the just
gentle raindrops... godsends
steady showers... godsends
dreadful downpours... God sends

raindrops... godsends to tender shoots
showers... godsends to the flowers
nature justly rewarded, thus rewards
equally with godsends of bounty
both the wicked and the just

meantime streams flow gently to the rivers
rivers bless landscapes they follow
godsends to parched places

until God sends rain in excess
rivers race in rising torrents
roaring without caution
raging toward the sea

flooding lands in equal proportion
of both the wicked and the just
exhibiting no bias

God sends godsends
to all men

Mary Havran
