rain rain don't go away

Clouds, grey and looming,
Sun rays try a-peeking;
Wind brings a chill,
Imminent rain suits the bill;
Droplets fall from the heavens,
Men seek shelter in taverns;
Drink away the gloomy weather,
Always hoping for the better.

But, we miss the point.

Rain brings life.
We are of the living,
We should welcome rain,
Glorious, life-giving rain.
Woe to he who does not realise,
What he has been blessed with.
Looming clouds prevent the sun from scorching,
Chill winds cool us down,
Rain washes away the dirt and stains,
And what can be more the opposite of gloom,
Than sunshine after the rain?
