 Poems by The Old Cowboy

The Singing Rain




I love the sound of the evening rain
It steadily beat singing me to sleep
Drawing dreams I would like to retain
Bringing more pleasure then counting sheep

Distance thunder sometimes breaks the spell
A sudden flash of lightning opens my eyes
Then with the rain to sleep I am propelled
The wet and wonderful drumming from the skies

The melodies that send me to such slumber
Refreshing my tired body for the next day
That deep sleep that makes me stronger
Listening to the song as I drift away

Oh singing rain how I love you so
Gods washing of this grand earth
He directs the music like a great maestro
As I sleep in my warm safe berth.
