Dear Rain

I so enjoy you. Most especially when I am warm and dry. Most especially (but not always) at night. I love a sunny day and a rainy night. You nourish my garden like my watering can not. Something all encompassing about how you fall and how you more evenly get to the roots. I like the way you sound on my roof —given that it doesn’t leak. I feel calm, even when there is thunder and lightning. Finally, you gifted me a few hours in the summer mornings, as my morning chore of watering the garden has been handled by you.
