Lessons from a Raindrop

Thousands of us together, cold and wet,

We cling together, for courage and strength,

Formed from water, cloud dust, and ice,

And many other things, not so nice,

Each one anticipating, a future journey untold,

After breaking free, from this closed world,

Upon new paths, new experiences unfurled,

A tiny drop of water, with responsibilities unplumbed,

Facing hardships, as I embark on my mission,

Focusing my eyes, on a blissful destination,

Starting off by breaking away, from my cloud-mates,

I begin a frightful fall, through fog and haze,

But as I peer down, far below,

I see the parched Earth, rejoice and glow,

Earth dancing in anticipation, of a shower to refresh,

This gives me a feeling of joy and content,

As I continue my downward flight,

Besides me I behold a sparkling ray of light,

Inviting it to come and dance with me,

I embark upon a rainbow-making spree,

Transform this ray to seven gorgeous hues,

I turn it into a beauty, so pure and new,

Then I see people below behold this sight,

Their faces lighting up with sheer delight,

Such momentary joys dispel a hundred woes,

Giving me a happiness, a satisfaction untold,

I continue my journey, approaching thirsty soil,

Welcomed by weary farmers, after months of hard toil,

Plants and animals alike, look to me with expectations,

Welcoming with smiles, eras of bountiful creation,

My duty, my purpose - to fulfil these expectations,

With thousand like-minded drops, I feel a great connection,

Racing along the end of a journey, selfless yet rewarding,

With my scorched Mother Earth, I feel a strange bonding,

And then it happens, I hit parched ground,

My mission accomplished, whole and sound,

Trickle down to the roots of a budding seed,

I’m lapped up, to sprout into a shiny new leaf,

I reach the end, alone in
