R Rain falls fast, blessings fall faster yet
A Always He answers, a river now set
I Intrigued by the constant flow
N Never ending Blessings, around bends go
B Bringing us joy, a rainbow after the rain
L Leaving our hearts, cleansed by His Name
E Evolves around the distant shores
S Scattering blessings, from shore to shore
S Summer showers come and go
I Intrigued by His power, constant Blessings flow
N Now the showers disappear
G Gods delicate hands, still appear
S Sending us Blessings, even when the rains had cleared

nice
i did like this one i was good, but judging by you other poems that i have read i was looking for something well a bit different. that is not a bad thing i kept reading to see if this whole thing was a metaphor, but i take it that this was not! anywho, it was a really great poem! I love the rain, too! -
dear victoria,
you did a nice job having challenged yourself in comparing the blessings of rain with God's Blessings. actually this is what I had in mind when I started the contest.
although it would be okay just to write about rain, or just to write about divine blessings ... but both combined is even better !
I appreciate the frame you set through your first as well as last lines :
Rain falls fast, blessings fall faster yet

Sending us Blessings, even when the rains had cleared
telling us that God's Blessings pour on us constantly, while things in nature have a beginning and an end ... impermanence inmidst Eternity ... Eternity inmidst impermanene ...
wonderful.

I loved the BL in blessings, I thought it was cool, and I liked that you did acrostic (I don't nkow if you had to or not, I didn't look at contest rules). Anyways, you did acrostic well, and didn't sound like a pre-schooler, so it's all good.
