Farmer Johnny
Used to pray
“In the field,
The crops should be,
Instead there’s puddles,
And ducks looking at me!”
“Rain, rain, go away”,
Farmer Johnny
Used to pray,
“In the field no crops should still remain,
But the geese are flying over,
And the weather, it gets colder.”
Instead of dryness,
Came more rain,
And farmer Johnny,
Thought with shame,
“I’m ungrateful, yes I am,
All in God’s providence comes this rain.”
“Just the way I like it LORD,
Sorry I complained.”
“God is Sovereign,”
“Yes He is, ne’er forget it either,”
“He’s in control, and knows what he’s doin’
Even when I complain,
About His blessed rain.”
I actually have seen ducks swimming in puddles which are standing in fields....
But on a different note, it crossed my mind that at the rate I'm posting ya'll will think that all I write is poetry! I think because it is fairly quick and easy for me, however I hope to soon get up some more substantial posts.
