Thousands of us together , cold and wet ,
We cling together, for courage and strength ,
Formed from water , cloud dust and ice ,
And many other things, not so nice ,
Each one anticipating, a future journey untold ,
After breaking free, from this closed world ,
Upon new paths , new experiences unfurled ,
A tiny drop of water, with responsibilities unplumbed ,
Facing hardships, as I embark on my mission ,
Focusing my eyes, on a blissful destination ,
Starting off by breaking away from my cloud-mates,
I begin a frightful fall, through fog and haze ,
But as I peer down, far below ,
I see the parched Earth, rejoice and glow ,
Earth dancing in anticipation of a shower to refresh ,
This gives me a feeling of joy and content ,
As I continue my downward flight ,
Besides me I behold a sparkling ray of light ,
Inviting it to come and dance with me ,
I embark upon a rainbow-making spree ,
Transform this ray to seven gorgeous hues ,
I turn it into a beauty ,so pure and new ,
Then I see people down there behold this sight ,
Their faces lighting up with sheer delight ,
Such momentary joys dispel a hundred woes ,
Giving me a happiness, a satisfaction untold ,
I continue my journey, approaching the thirsty soil ,
Welcomed by weary farmers, after months of hard toil ,
Plants and animals alike, look to me with expectations ,
Welcoming with smiles , eras of bountiful creation ,
My duty , my purpose to fulfill these expectations ,
With a thousand like-minded drops, I feel a great connection ,
Racing along the end of a journey, selfless yet rewarding ,
With my scorched Mother Earth, I feel a strange bonding ,
And then it happens , I hit parched ground ,
My mission accomplished, whole and sound ,
Trickle down to the roots of a budding seed ,
I’m lapped up, to sprout into a shiny new leaf ,
I reach the end, alone in pain ,
Yet happy and content for ringing in positive change ,
Such a selfless life from birth unto death ,
My human friends have lived , how many of you can claim ?
