A Poem from the Annabel Collection
The Rumble and the Sparkle - Viewed 89 Times

November 24, 2007
The rumble and the sparkle
Do always raindrops bring
Allowing nature’s beauty
To blossom forth in spring
It all begins in wintertime
When snow does often fall
White crested fields of loveliness
From days we might recall
Protecting every flower seed
From winter’s frozen night
They rest beneath the blanket snow
Until the time is right
With spring then does each crocus rise
Each tulip and each rose
First nurtured by an April shower
And melting of the snows
The creeks and streams and rivers fill
Then all are ocean bound
Where sunlight mists them to the sky
With clouds of whiteness found
The wind then carries them aloft
South, east and west and north
From cold winds acting on their heart
New raindrops sprinkle forth
Falling once again in May
Each seed becomes a flower
Then fields of loveliness appear
Beneath each fragrant shower
This is a cycle beautiful
As seasons change and flow
For the rumble and the sparkle
Do help each flower grow
