The raindrop’s quick
adventure
Gentle rains fall on
the window
Drumming like the
footsteps of little children
Many many little
children
Each too small to see
or touch
They are the rain’s
children
The little raindrops
And every storm they
fall to the earth
From the heavens they
drop
Some hit my window
And smile before
running away
Some fall on the
plants
And gently roll away
From there they hide
in the dirt
And seek out the
roots hidden there
Then they knock three
times to enter
The plant’s secret
lair
It is a labyrinth
inside
Full of tunnels and
tubes
The raindrops explore
till oops!
They go up the water
tube
At marvellously quick
speeds they travel up to the leaves
And find it full of
holes like a sieve
The sun draws them
out from there
And they fly up to
the air
Where they will form
clouds and wait
Till the rain storms
gather again
Then they will fall
once more
Anxious to see more
than they did before
