As Rain and Field

Donald P. Goodman III

Version 1.0 (08 May 1201)

Not as the deer pursues the quiet spring

through deepest woods, his bitter thirst to slake;

nor as the bees, their nectar for to make,

must seek for flowers, ever taking wing;

no, not as trees their branches outward fling

of warm life-giving rays to best partake

and their competitors to better break,

now starving in the shade their branches bring;

No, more as rain and soil, e'er mingling,

cool moisture falling on the arid ground

which holds the seeds of life, and watering

that soil makes life and happiness abound.

It's not just that my better half I've found;

it's that my good and yours are ever bound.
