How do the clouds know when to rain?

Does it mean the sky is sad?

My mother answered, Oh my Love!

It’s nothing near that bad!

You see the clouds that float up high,

That pass the tallest trees?

They whisper to each other,

About each others needs.

 

The trees talk to the flowers,

The flowers to the plants,

The plants are close down to the ground,

And they talk to the ants.

 

The ants are all around,

They talk to dogs and cats,

Who also talk to birds,

Horses, cows and bats.

So when someone gets thirsty,

Dirty, dry or hot,

The trees will tell the clouds,

To move over to that spot.

See everyone needs rain,

Down to every blade of grass,

So when a cloud feels heavy,

The trees tell it where to pass.

 

The cloud goes where it’s needed,

The wind blows it on its way,

And after it rains down all its raindrops,

Watch the colors come out to play.

 

The grass becomes much greener,

The flowers bloom their buds,

The dust is washed off the horses,

They don’t need soap or suds.

 

And then the cloud is empty,

And goes along it’s way,

To gather some more rain,

To spread another day.
