I know that we don’t all realize

the reason rain falls from the skies

On everyone

But time is just

A method for learning about

Eternity.........

An ocean where every rain drop

Will someday be one with

All things

Every life a star twinkling in the heavens

Every love a harmony in the Song

Every hope a new voice swirling in the river

Every tear a testament of sorrow,

                                   (and a reason to become a giver)

Every soul a snowflake falling in the winter

Unique crystals gleaming white as one

                                        great canopy of light beneath the sun

Every sacrifice an open door

Of understanding

                             so another

Might see what we are living for

Every kiss

A shout that love

                   (that’s the reason)

Has found a place to rest

                  (if you can hear it)

Yes, that’s the reason

Rain falls from the skies

On everyone

Mat 5:44-46 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (45) That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (46) For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
