Josie Whitehead:

Don’t grumble when the rain comes down -
     Don’t wear a gloomy frown -
When little raindrops patter down
     On villages and town.
Remember that the trees, the birds,
     The flowers and yes, we too -
Would die without those drops of rain
     And only skies of blue.
The rain breathes life into our world
     And without it we would die -
So don’t grumble when the rain comes down
     But look up at the sky -
For behind those black and murky clouds
     You’ll find a blue sky shining -
And we’re told “Behind each dark black cloud
      You’ll find a silver lining.”
