RAINoRoPs.

The raindrops fell, each drop living soul,
Joyfully they left their cloud home
Rushing downward through the unknown.
And some fell on the parched ground
And gave their new life TO the grass,
And some into stately, grand souled rivers, and
were one with them;
And some into laughing streams leaped and dane
ed their lives through,
And some into the deep, Wild ocean,
And some into staguant pools-the quick souled
raindrops
And when they were tired the wind stopped down
and carried the raindrops home.
