Healing Rain

The rain falls steadily
Tapping methodically upon the ground
Never have I heard
Such a tragic hopeless sound
It washes away stains
Of brothers sacrificial blood
Spilled all over the battlefield
Such a horrid crimson flood
We met here in Gettysburg
To fight for what we thought right
So many brothers on either side
Lie dead or dying here tonight
Tomorrow the rain will fall again
A response from above
God in His abundant mercy
Will send rain in love
For we will fight again
Many more brothers will die
And again Gods sorrow
Will fall from the sky
Washing away the fears
The pleadings of terrified men
Perhaps this time the rain
Will help healing begin
The healing of rifts
Caused by American brothers pride
Sealing of wounds
Festering on either side
Perhaps the tears of God
Will soften hearts that remain
And the voices of dying brothers
Are no longer silenced in vain
Russ
