T-Gift of Rain

Dear Rain,

I am writing on behalf of all the grass and trees in the world. We were in need of rain for three months. It was absolutely excruciating to try and survive on what we had. We had a total of an eighth of an inch on average for three months consecutively. I talked to the trees and they explained that if we didn’t receive rain soon, they wanted to walk away from earth. We have all spoken with your mother but our words didn’t work. Mother Nature said she needed you to learn how to manage your work load.

It has been three months since we spoke with your mother, and we were losing hope. We lost our hope. We began to see our loved one disappear and trees lose their leaves. It was awfully sad. Then all of a sudden, it rained. We had inches of rain in some parts of our favorite homeland in the heart of Texas, San Antonio. After days of raining, we were able to see our children grow. They are green and long, along with the leaves on the trees that are beginning to retrieve their colors. It is beautiful here in San Antonio, Texas. We know that this is possible because you learned how to manage your work load in the time you were given to water the world.

We the grass are sending this letter of thanks for the gift of rain you gave us. We are proud of you for accomplishing your task. Managing your time is hard, we can imagine. The rain has much to do in order to rain. You also have to make sure all countries get rain. Thank you again for remembering us here in San Antonio, Texas.

Sincerely,

The Grass
