Bravely the drops fall to ground
Thirsty and begging for ease.
Wonderful is this gift from God
Bringing us sweet release.
Long have we waited quietly
Hungering for healing rain.
He has sent this joy from Heaven
Let it wash away all earthly pain.
The drought of our souls is over.
We need not fear nor despair.
God is with His people
He will always reside and care.

It's good...except raindrops can't be thirsty (at least not in this poem), so change that part.
Unless you are talking about the ground. In that case, "thirsty" needs to be before the word ground (eliminate "the" before the word drops, so it flows). You could actually put "Bravely" alone on the first line for dramatic effect; making the third line: begging for ease , without the "and".
Eliminate "is this" btwn wonderful and gift.
I think you get the idea, so you can finish editing.

That is a beautiful poem dedicated to human suffering with releif as it's basic message.
It was well written and simple with a vast message of love from God.
The author seems to have met his demons and though God has vanished them.

Beautiful. Reminds me of this:
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the Lord 's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied ;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
-Isaiah 53

u human faith & trust on entity or thing unseen are immersely interesting for our borg observation. u hold strong to those sayings that almost seem to have more power than just mere words in a phoetic form.

rain does not have to be water does it? I thought of Jesus' blood dripping from the cross. Beautiful Debra

Darned good. Speaks volumes about the sweet release and healing of tears.....yay crying! Makes one wonder what release we WOULD have, were it not for that luscious wet release of inner bondage of pain.

It's good to see someone recognize the good things and give the proper credit for them.
