The World Is Having Wash-Day

I wrote this while sitting on our front porch this afternoon and watching the rain we have needed so badly! :)

"The World is Having Wash-Day"

By Rachel H.

The world is having wash-day

And good old-fashioned showers

Have come to rub the smudges off

And freshen up the flowers.

The world is having wash-day,

And in the new-scrubbed sky

The raindrops fluff the cotton-clouds
And hang them up to dry.

The world is having wash-day

And all creation stops

To have their faces scoured

By the friendly silver drops

The world is having wash-day

and a cleansing cool and deep,

And soon will put on Autumn robes

before it's winter sleep.
