Rain Cycle

Written one day, bored because of the rain




There's an interesting element in this world called rain
It's cycle is constant and almost always the same
Sometimes it's just a gentle rain and other times hail
To some people it's a bother and a great big pain
While others love it and try to catch it with a pail

To me the rainfall is nothing different and new
But just the cycle starting over, for me and you
And also for the people, who from the rain can benefit
Although there are some who lose work and money too
But the cycle must continue and rain is just part of it

When the rain stops as it almost always will
It may seem like the rain cycle is quiet and still
But the rainfall does not stop even with the water sitting on the ground
For now it is rising up in the air higher than any hill
And nothing can stop the cycle from continuing to go around

Now evaporation is the part of the cycle that is taking place
And the water rises up and condenses in the sky's great space
So soon there are clouds that are found all around
And the drops begin to form within, and then one begins the race
Therefore the cycle is now complete as again the rain falls down
