After many days of hot, dry, smokey weather.
It rained.
We yearned for it. We breathed in the Earth's sigh.
We welcomed the rain like a dear friend
and rejoiced at its return.
Eight years ago you were born.
And tho my life was not hot and dry,
you were like a welcomed rain.

Eight years ago you were born.
And tho my life was not hot and dry,
you were like a welcomed rain.
You came.
I yearned for you.
I breathed in your newness.
I welcomed you like a dear friend
I welcomed you like a dear friend
and still rejoice at your coming.
