Rainy Day
By Lisa Noe

As the rain falls, the wind will blow
This is the reason birds fly low
They mingle with the butterflies
They are filling up the gray sky.

While on the ground green grass grows high
Making flowers as time goes by.
Bunnies forage in the tall grass,
And the trees blow gently at last.

Puppies wrestling, having some fun
Children playing chase on the run.
The sun peeps out from behind clouds
As the coyote lets out howls.

A beautiful day it’s become,
We see the beauty of the sun.
