Prayer
Rain, rain, go away,
Hearing the little ones’ dismay,
Their tiny voices, sound and clear,
Echoed wishes for the rain to disappear.
Moving their heads, upward, downward,
Searching the skies, their hopes empowered.
Looking left, then to the right,
Under heavy clouds, they trod with fright.
Hearing the little ones’ dismay,
Their tiny voices, sound and clear,
Echoed wishes for the rain to disappear.
Moving their heads, upward, downward,
Searching the skies, their hopes empowered.
Looking left, then to the right,
Under heavy clouds, they trod with fright.
So I began to pray, to the Lord above,
“Clear the way for them, wrap them in love.
Keep them safe, let the storm subside,
Guide them gently, be their guide.”
So rain, rain, if you must stay,
Let joy and laughter find their way.
For in the hearts of these little ones
Hope will rise, and love will call.
Bring them home safe and sound. Amen

Auracle,
In "Prayer", the longing for protection and warmth comes through in such a pure, heartfelt way. It captures the earnest desire to protect and comfort those who are vulnerable. The children’s cries for the rain to stop are universal, speaking to a deeper need for safety and reassurance. It reminds me of the song "Sonne, Sonne, komm' ein wenig runter," (a German children's song that children sang to drive away the many rainy days) where the wish for sunlight is just as simple yet full of hope. Both evoke that same quiet yearning for peace and warmth in times of uncertainty.
Regards,
Rolph
