The Rain Cliché

Sometimes it rains on those
Who walk a narrow path
You've seen the ones who try
To shrug it off and laugh
But when it comes, know this
You'll always get a little wet
The winds don't make it easy
To take a forward step
Sometimes it pours on souls
Who need a little soak
Vile, wretched creatures
Living without hope
The ones who never notice
Who never thought to try
The ones who don't believe
That they were born to die
Sometimes the waters fall
On those who've given all they've got
The ones who've made the best
Of their paltry little lot
Job had lost it all
And Lot had lost his wife
Just and righteous followers
Struck by horrid strife
It doesn't seem to matter
What they've done or tried
They can only wait and hope
For the sun to shine outside
Sometimes those icy drops
Fall from human eyes
The people that you love
Share with them and cry
The tempest always strikes
Those that ran away from pain
But never forgets the others
Who did their best to stay
But sometimes it just rains
Life and creed aside
Battles the courageous
Who dare to step outside
There are those who ask
God, why must this be so
What is it that I've done
Why won't you make it go
The Lord won't let you crumble
If you make your prayer known
Rodins' caryatid is only beauty
Under the weight of her stone
Tears like little raindrops
Help to clear our sight
And storms don't last forever
Even under Jovian might
Though the rain seems cold
And stings like tiny fists
A pretty flower couldn't grow
Without those springtime mists
So when it descends, head outside
And lift your arms is praise
Dance into the drizzly night
There's warmth within the haze

There's a lot of depth here in spite of the title. I needed to read this today. I forget what Job suffered sometimes. Other times I look up and say "God, what is it I need to learn? Just tell me now and I promise I'll get it. I'd rather you just tell me than go through all this." But, He knows best, and He knows what I need to learn something once and for all and trust Him even more. Thanks for this write that obviously got me to thinking.
