I gaze at the sky and see

Millions of raindrops falling toward me

I hear them as they hit the ground

And I realize a beautiful thing I have found

I hear their gentle rhythm as they pitter patter down

And I am smiling although most wear a frown

The melody within them is rare indeed

And of some cheering up I was in need

Some drops are heavy and some are light

But the tune to which they fall is just right

I see the beauty that God has given to us

And that is why share this with you I must

I never knew just how many things I miss when I am not paying attention

These things that are falling to the ground are God's perfect intervention

We miss what He really wants us to see

And therefore the rain must be

God longs for us to see that the good far outweighs the bad

And gives us the raindrops and makes us see the goodness we have always had

Each raindrop is unique like a snowflake

And little effort it takes

I wish I had looked up sooner and realized the sight

I now therefore vow that each night

Before I shut my eyes

I will look up at the wonder of the beautiful night skies
