Nolan,
I really like poem. we often associate rain with sadness, but it is also essential for life.
Sunshine brings joy; but too much brings disaster.
I like the way you use these two weather elements to make a great point.
Your author's notes show wisdom.
Good luck, Nathan.

Thank you very much. I adhere to the thought, "If you have nothing of value to say, you should remain silent, so that the wise can be heard clearly."

Comment from Cedar
Hello Nomi,
Man, you sure hit the nail on the head. I know from personal experience from still living on the farm that I was born on way back in 1945.
I've raised tobacco, corn, sugar cane, hay and about every kind of vegetable you can think of for many years now. And with that sunshine and rain you so elegantly write about I've managed to have more good years than bad.
Without the grace of God shining down on me and my family with all that sunshine and rain, things would have been much harder than what they were at times.
Thanks, my friend, for reminding me to be more greatful to our Creator for all the many blessings He has bestowed on me throughout all these years.
Keep writing Nomi, your words have a way of lifting my spirits...Bill

If my words made you feel better, yours lifted my spirits even higher. As a writer, if I am not communicating with my tools, my words, then I am wasting both my time and yours. May that never happen. Thank you so much.
Comment from Shanbreen
NOMI338, this straight forward poem, put things in perspective--- the balance of sun and rain to sustain human lives. Of course, we humans have screwed up the environment. If only we take care of what is provided instead of destroying it. Thank you for sharing.

Well said, my friend. More of us need to be aware of how tenuous we live and respect what we have. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and have a wonderful day.

I am not a believer, but that does not prevent me from enjoying a really good, well written poem that really does show the importance of rain - and the problems caused by too little or too much! Well done!"

Thank you for your review comments. One need only look around at what is current and what is historical to see the value of both sunshine and rain.

Yes that is for sure, Nomi. We certainly need both. To little rain is bad and too much is bad as well. We have a lot of drought here in Spain due to a complexed weather system. Ulla:)))

We have the blessed promise from God that he will never again use such things as a flood or a drought to destroy the human family.
Comment from GWHARGIS
It's amazing how we as humans rely on God's daily mercies and gifts yet whine at the first inconvenience. Most of the times we are spoiled and ungrateful. I love when it rains, when it's chilly and even when it's hot. I didn't used to but I made a vow a couple of years ago. I will enjoy every season. Your poem made me realize how much I still take for granted. Beautifully written. Gretchen

Thank you Gretchen. Truly I say to you, every day spent on Earth whether hot, cold, dry or wet is a blessing because we are alive to experience it.
Comment from Natureschild
You have captured the balance and interplay of joy and pain in life, symbolized through the elements of sunshine and rain. You emphasize the necessity of both for growth and success, drawing a parallel between the natural world and the human experience. Your poem maintains a rhythmic flow with its rhyming couplets, making it enjoyable to read. - Terry
